A Most Dangerous Girl

He put poison in my whiskey, bestowed himself upon me
I will break the hands of the next man who touches me
I’m not your Delia
Your Pretty Polly
I’m not born of this world
I’m a most dangerous girl
I warred with despair and despair won
Anger is better, angry gets shit done
Sisters in cells, shackled in hulls on the sea
They let the boys through but they’ll throw the book at me
Mama knows some men, she said. They can break his legs, she said.
We can make him disappear as long as I don’t hear of it
The trauma makes me powerful so I have to hold onto it
This one is mine. I want to feel it
This is my retribution
The soil begins to shake
The sky all painted red
The fields burned in my name
I will bring horror
I will bring hell
I am the end of all things
A most dangerous girl

Our mum’s moved us into a house where the tableware’s alive
It throws itself across the room but she says we’re telling lies
A storm of insects plagued the room but it’s coincidence
It’s got to be the neighbour man, won’t betray his confidence
There’s click click bugs and drip drip sounds within this place of mine
I’m five years old and it makes no sense, I am terrified
He said, ‘My beloved, I swear to God, she’s with another man
That son of a bitch reached in to feed and tore away my hand
With screaming voices in my head and that look upon her face
I write my will, my testament, the devil takes her place
There’s nine of them left in the house between me and the door
I count them off, one by one, as they fall down to the floor
I call the doctor, a silent voice, Bacardi at my side
I loved them too much, I couldn’t leave, I had to watch them die’.
I swallow down the nausea and turn to the result
Eight years passed and he’s free again, his crime somehow absolved
The rats in the walls crawling like my hands towards the door
Get me out of this accursed house, I can’t live here anymore
So I will smile in passing at those who I hold dear
And hope that my life is worth more than just one year.

Original Sin

Open up my body
I will let you in
Cause I was born a woman
And that’s my original sin
A spectre in my bedroom
The sepulchre's frontier
Pushes holes through muscle memory
That I can feel for years
Your agency forgotten
Them boys, they push and take
Bitch, why you still complaining?
You'll bend or you will break
They found another body
I suck air in through my teeth
My keys between my fingers
Pray the next one isn't me
I been thinking of quitting drinking
That ticking in my head
Cause the more I drown my demons
The more daft that I get
She raps upon my front door
Pretty face all black and blue
"No I can't leave him, no I won't
I love him, yes I do"
So I farewell her the next day
Clutch my fist up to my breast
Her little girl in the backseat
And onwards on they press
They said it from the origin
We are our mother's kin
Eve transgressed, so that's on you
The eternal odium.
