Aunt History isn’t blameless…

Aunt History isn’t blameless—
She’s got tons
To answer for—
Virgins desanguinated
Bamboo and fingernails…
Nietzsche’s sister…
She hates how it happens
A blizzard of failures
Lost souls wandering
Women starving
Moonlight unfriendly
Men tangled in stupid lingo
She sits by candlelight
Writing it down
The candles cold as glass
The cruelty candles
