Poundshop Medicine
Urban Fairy Tale #34

She had a gut full
Of snakes and black beetles
She ate the bran of penance
But it gave her no relief
So she snorted a razor blade’s edge
Dipped in strychnine
But it just made her sick
So she apologised to the universe
And everyone in between
But got no reply
She flayed her back
With the slime of snails
And rolled in nettles
Till her skin blistered
But still no release
So she said ‘fuck it’
And just let it be.
