Dead girl swinging from a tree As breezes blow melodically She sways almost erotically Blackening necrotically
She loved a boy who said goodbye And laughed at her when she asked why She thought that she might like to fly And swing, and choke, and lastly, die
The noose around her throat, she jumped Her neck bones snapped, her long legs pumped 'Til every bit of breath was gone Now it's the wind she's dancing on
Her flesh turns putrid, then it slips Insects crawl upon her lips Flies infest her, north and south Feasting on her crotch, her mouth
Some days later, she is found Split skin sagging to the ground Hung from a noose so tightly bound Dead girl dancing 'round and 'round
I have seen too many young people take their lives. It is an irrevocable tragedy. 2009
