\begin{quote}
Your voice always whacked me right on the funny bone
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
of the great-hearted suffering bitch fantasy
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
that ruled me like a huge copper moon with its phases
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
until I could partially break free.
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
How could I help but cherish you for my bad dreams?
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
Your voice would grate right on the marrow filled bone
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
that cooks up that rich stew of masochism where we swim.
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
Woman is born to suffer, mistreated and cheated.
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
We are trained to that hothouse of exploitation.
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
Never do we feel so alive, so in character
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
as when were walking the floor with the all night blues.
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
When some man not being there who’s better gone
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
becomes a lack that swells up to a gaseous balloon
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
and flattens from us all thinking and sensing and purpose.
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
Oh, the downtrodden juicy long-drawn female blues:
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
you throbbed up there with your face slightly swollen
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
and your barbed hair flying energized and poured it out,
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
the blast of a furnace of which the whole life is the fuel.
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
You embodied that good done-in mama who gives and gives
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
like a fountain of boozy chicken soup to a ratrace Of men.
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
You embodied the pain hugged to the breasts like a baby.
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
You embodied the beautiful blowsy gum of passivity,
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
woman on her back to the world endlessly, hopelessly, raggedly
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
offering a brave front to be screwed.
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
That willingness to hang on the meathook and call it love,
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
that need for loving like a screaming hollow in the soul,
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
that’s the drug that hangs us and drags us down
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
deadly as the icy sleet of skag that froze your blood,
\end{quote}
