Real Gone Now

I seen my ex-mother-in-law
Do snake-eyes at me
When we air-kissed on her doorstep.
I seen her pin me down
And explode me
In the billows of snake-venom
Darting from the slits in her eyes.
I seen old-mother-snake-death-in-law
Obliterate me in her reptile blink
I seen her break me and shake me
And grind my bones for her bread.
