the banshee

banshee veiled her secrets under the shouts

and the devoured forest in her embrace

so slowly but surely she grew the sprouts

for the madness that ruined her pretty face

keening and grieving the death she o\' loathed

the passing of one she knew from her dreams

crying out with a mind that’s so bloated

that there’s no space for her to think her things
