What has she become?
A stranger to herself as
the lyric of the dawn
shrinks against her
ego!

What has she become?
A temptress whose throat is
as raw as when she
fed on my
remains

What has she become?
A godless goddess with
a broken temple in
the Garden of
Babylon

What has she become?
A dissident who paints herself
with blush, blue mascara on
her blank face, forever the
patriot

What has she become?
What she always was.
Nothing.
