The Betrayal: Lady Liberty Poem by Dizzy Darling

Lady Liberty hovers over skyline lantern halo,
gravestone manifesto in hand.
that ol lady with iron legs and copper skin
Inferable piping of egalitarian dreamscapes.
That FEmme Fatale took a few breaths
Breathing our tired and poor in her seduction
Touring over hard toast with burnt edges, stale coffee,
and a charred tongue.

Let your hair loose
The city sleeps while you wrap them theighs around
their faces what price what desire what regret?
A ship comes off the Atlantic seaboard
with an empty cut-up helm, an empty roaring belly
begging to free them chains of gnawing hunger from the cold nights flue... a warm bite or much prefereda warm bottle to ease our minds.
