A vain little cancer stick of a woman
beautiful bile
spewing through her lips
beautiful bile
spewing through her lips
along with the smoke
from her nostrils
Climbed over her friends
and stepped on her family
heels clacking
voice cackling
grudge carrying
until everyone left
and her lungs began hacking
Disease dripping through her esophagus
if there had ever been
anything of her to open up
it closed with her throat
Her weapon of choice
rotted and rusted
scabbard decaying
turned inward
She swallowed her tongue
and choked
