Indistinction

The air was bruised with jazz and smoke,
The golden whiskey burned her throat,
And priceless pearls fell from her eyes,
'Cuz bubblegum lips were no disguise.

The music changed and lights dimmed low,
Her glass was dry, she had to go.
His eyes were kept for her alone,
That stupid girl fell from her throne.

He took her hand, she followed him,
They danced just like the seraphim,
He looked, she thought, like Raphael,
His painted wings were like a spell.

He held her, kissed her gent-l-y,
Her heart was his eternally,
He gave her diamonds, held her train,
She drank his tears and took his pain.

Now like Khepri, Ra, and Atum,
Their love is like Egytian sun,
It burns beside the moon and stars,
And fades when Neptune kisses Mars.

But flaming Typhon whistles death,
Our starlet princess, high on meth,
Has choked on pearls and painted wings,
And diamond-studded wedding rings.
