Nanette

by grimbeau

 

portrait of a Sicilian girl

She

Yellow

Cowled,  pock-marked

Pale chuff faced,

Sidles,

Stumbles

Ghostly

Inside Chapel Cell,

Her Holy hidey-hole,

Up the duff,

recently gin & needled

 

She

dropped like a sock,

and in that drop got

relegated,

denigrated,

emasculated from Herstory,

babeless scrawl on nameless wall.

No net

you see:

no more net

Nanette.
