She gets impatient
so quickly,
even though
I've told her
things worth
cultivating
take time to grow.
That she's always unsure
is all she really knows.
God had already
given her a sick
set of six strings,
so she sold her
steel body to the devil,
to do what he will with it.
Now they
resonate
together,
one howlin' wolf,
all through the night.
*Haughty,
naughty
necked
girl,
Why would I
write you a jewel,
or a star,
when you already
are one?*
