She is so powerful.......

She Is Powerful

her undeclared war raged under

her hundred thousand battle scars

making her peace a guilty place

her million guns back fired all at once her love murdered

by the magic bullets of sacred money his heart discounted

by a capitalist roulette wheel spinning through his blood

she is so powerful she shakes like a steam engine

inside the mutating gene of a tiger moth’s camouflage

her double helix strands explosive cinnamon twists

pushing too far too long to bursting point she opens up

blood brought from the stone to purge death’s revenge

fits of sparks clicked from her heels Kansas still a dream

eyes to set fires by fix a sister’s lover to a brother’s bed

her fears scatter from the coiling warmth of life’s wriggle

her soul still an atomic bomb inside the last Russian doll

her undeclared war cradled sweet

her hundred thousand calls to arms silenced

by a single kiss between the wings.
