Nightingale

Eyes starved on stitched thread
Cancer breeds the blind
Fed the son with skin shed
Lap of insecticide
Gashes wet my heaving breast
Raped the blood in, exocrine
Swallow the seed in dance of death
I'll carve this into your heart
Perched corpse of entrails
Mimes her cut-out tongue
Beauty out of betrayal
Sacred nightingale song
Taken flight
No forgiveness
Sweet revenge
Togetherness
