Billie

Billie  
   
orchids frame the portals of her executioner's escape    
   
though she's never seen the bitch in her true form    
just dressed as a White Lady    
   
her whorish twin pimped out in small doses    
by the same men who own her and her melodies    
   
she sings of Strange Fruit    
dangling above magnolias in Georgia    
and bluebonnets in Texas    
   
nectar of the fruit    
fall like sunflower seeds    
blackened husks cracked open    
and spit out    
   
only the flesh is needed for consumption    
so till the soil with more shit    
as long as it all looks    
   
pretty
