Black Angus - Wendy McNeill

You say you are quiet because you lack food

I delight in your entree and watch as you chew

Now that your steak must be well on it’s way

Through ten feet of intestines you still have nothing to

Nothing to say

I made you the offer to speak of your thirst

But your smirk was enorous and your hands well rehearsed

You were blue with the moonlight and wet with compari

Said 'we've only got a month so let’s get busy'

You were so gentle a decade ago

As I nursed you with spirits at 18 years old

Now I’m a woman and i’ve traveled too

I would like to be more than some charm that you use

You’ve studied religions, traveled the world,

Collected artifacts, collected girls

Wish I was your brother, so that we could hang

So that I could know you

You beautiful beautiful thing

A kiss to your left cheek a kiss to your right

I move to your third eye and you pull away

Where does your god live?

Where do you go?

You said god is in everything except my clothes

You are a player and I am a flirt

But I am looking for better I want to go deeper

I want to know more

You’re writing a fairytale and in it is truth

She is an old hag that’s toothless and bruised

The twist in the tale is in her last request

She says give me a sugarcoat when of me they ask

She is your daughter, she is your muse

She’s in your drawings and she is in you

And I know you love her

I know you do

You beautiful

Beautiful

Thing
