.. . ... . ..

I am Bette Davis in colour.
Eyes and all.

Elegance and a sharp tongue,
I'll gracefully rip your throat away.

I am fire and music,
arranged in a spectrum
of primaries.

When I'm gone..
The world beats
a dead
languid drum.

Strong willed
and respected -
don't offer your heart..
I'll only stack it up to the collection.

"I'd love to kiss ya - But I just washed my hair.."
.. . ... . ..
