she left me / went to heaven /
she of the lovely throat wrapped in a necklace /
has the sweetest lips /
but she is bitter /

swords flashed in her eyes /
lances she sharpens to kill unfortunate men /
her eyes send out signals /
she is high-strung / like a thirsty deer /

her eyebrow / or bow / or rainbow /
recalls Noah's covenant / the sign that the flood was over /
if you're thirsty /
she tells her clouds to flood your heart with broken glass /
