Three Women

The haunted one went on smiling    with her eyes   closed  like   shy     yeses   


Alabama   went   on   by   like         a   windy dress up playing    must of have  been love but I'm    sober              now         


The felon complained of extra  notes     in the   sundown/   oceanic   stillness  of a capital frenzy          from the egyptian captioned     they     fanned    our heads  with  blades    we threaded our braids   with arrows     and rapunzel   fell    out the fable    for believing in herself     too   convincingly
