Embodied Erinyes

Desperate like me times three
Dark idol of my jealousy
I called you out embodied Erinyes
Thought I knew what you were all about
Your self cursed first impressions at the Thanksgiving feast

Daughter of Bacchus at the wholesome table
Fallen far from Aphrodite's cradle
Conceived in a chthonic desert grove of cacti
You mothered one of my own
Among the rattlesnakes and mescal

I could of been you by three degrees
I drink wine alone heavily
Finger self destruction before and eventually
Knock on the door of heaven or hell depending
I could of been you easily, refuse all judgment

Desperate to paint, recreate Fate
Make Beauty from childhood chaos
Merry masochist marry Narcissus, son of a passivist
And birth sweet February princess of Prudence

Temperance's final week was peace on earth, your illusion
Then steal her away like Hades down a bullet river
Our darling, emerald eyed wonder sacrifice
Full cheeked smile pure laughter
You should of been mine
Twin of my daughter
Survive another story longer
More like me mammal in the water

You both left us like riddles in stain glass windows
Feeling alien, disconnected like non believers in an ancient cathedral of a far off culture
Without right, in selfishness
Your madness I would of carried, levied
The lead weight poisoning, carrying you down the abyss w/o hope of a shore

Devoured by the demon bull of your soul
Labyrinth thoughts, a ball of string all tangled up
You trapped her in your Minotaur maze, mother gaze
No hero could spare
No angels allowed to care
Kinswoman grief I bare
Desperate like me times three
Embodied Furies wearied of this vengeance oath
