Halsey’s Interlude



 I’d like to be wrung out               a bit more

                I want a fist                  around my throat

Can you hold my full head          in your hand

               I want everything                    I asked for

                  that means                                    you

                  I want power,                         If I can’t have
          
            a clementine, let me             smash  the worst

                (sorry) honey               willowleaf lily, castle

         crammed of night/mares       grave/yards stuffed

             monarchs   nymphalidae    common tiger  wanderer 

                                                             nympho

                            I’m not a woman                 I’m a queen

                                         who needs                 (no) god
