tall boys and tatts


color me 
shamrock carved 
switchblade kitsch
blue cacophony ivy

hit
me
up with
your hot sauce
your devil pepper
weaponry 
light me up &

tack weld
my libido into 
smiley faces
something useful

don't tread on me

she's still not over the fact that  she is under the ground she speaks in rattly, clattery hissing  voices whenever they come around "I'll reach right up and turn your ankles you unforgivable gits,  for burying me,  prematurely,  over a spell of the coughing fits" so angry with her new residence and  bored a deeper shade of blue she's knocked over her marble marker and broken it clean in two.
