Splinter Song
Romie Stott
angry as an acid dress, cannibal angry as cloves arrow bent as it leaves the bow whistle swim target angry as a stump angry like a bear in girl clothes, porridge stolen slashing fish from a river guzzle bellow bullethole angry as a bradawl angry as shank meat angry as tar as mulberries barefoot braids dipped in lacquer angry like green sky, loud as an oncoming train sudden on a summer's day howling all for you.
