Literature Text

Mama gave birth to a voodoo daughter
she was in labour for just 2 hours, and pop!
out she came.

The doctors thought she came into
the world laughing like a gypsy rebel,
& when I held her in my arms I knew what was her
fate :

cigarette poison and perfume dreams,
making love to the moon
& wearing whipped cream.

(she makes me feel ancient,
I'm only sixteen..)
full title: & She was not a poet but a muse

a while ago when this was published in look-look i loved it from the second i read it. i cut out the poem and i pasted it in one of my "books of stuff" where i put ticket stubs and pictures. it remains there and i just happened to find it on here. so this poem, is my first poetry fave on DA. :D
