green fetus.

shudder and struggle
and swallow of absinthe
penetrates mediocrity
from ecstatic shots of green

but amniotic birth of a jaded lady
slipped boudoir and kissed
drunk cradle of abortion.

blood soaked merrily
but ache reaped the wooden frame
and stole promises of forgiveness.

silence is thick in haze
of heartbroken abomination.

    Firstly, WOW!!

    The second stanza is my favourite. I love the idea of the "jaded lady" both working as a description of a weary/worn out woman and also the colour jade tying in with your title. This also has a killer ending.

    Great write - well done!
