Siren

she is singing
you are my sunshine
sadly over a crib
I imagine without irony
or fear
she is singing
in power suits online
nakedly she is singing
nakedly she is singing
the universe to its end
she is singing
through extinction
she is singing
she is singing
through extinction
emphatically each
revolutionary letter
she is singing
despite the patriarchy
in feathers
in bathrobes
shaving for no one
she is singing
nakedly she is singing
nakedly she is singing
the universe to its end
she is singing
through extinction
she is singing
she is singing
through extinction
emphatically each
revolutionary letter
I imagine
you are my sunshine
you are my sunshine
through extinction
nakedly she is singing
nakedly she is singing
the universe to its end
she is singing
through extinction
she is singing
she is singing
through extinction
emphatically each
revolutionary letter
