gloom cookie

Feb 26, 2008

gloom cookie

she's 14 years old
listens to switchblade symphony
smokes clove cigarettes when
no adults are around
her makeup always
normally a pale base
with dark eyes
blood red lips
and black fingertips
an h.p. lovecraft babe
who watches the crow
over and over again

gutter nymph
cemetery doll
a lily of the alley
a city of one

she poses for this poem
by tilting her head down
forcing her eyes up
like alex in clockwork orange,
and flipping me off
