Oriental Bittersweet
her arms full of swans
never meant, no really never
meant you any harm.
Oriental Bittersweet
cuts her body with a blade
and never sees, no never really
sees the mess she's made.
Oriental Bittersweet
has horse blanket hair--
blacktop eyes and blackstrap tongue
and promises she cares.
Oriental Bittersweet
knows EMT's by name--
she'll take you with her, with her taken
here she comes again.
