Morticia Addams is a bruja. lyrics
by Melissa Lozada-Oliva
after Melissa Lozada-Oliva
With a face as white as leche before the café,
With hair dark and straight like black velvet ribbons,
She’ll f*ck you up ancestral style,
snipping off the heads of roses while
thinking of her scorners.
She has those cheek bones that could slice you
like a machete.
She dares you to ask her to smile, barely lifting
a perfectly plucked brow before
snapping your neck with her eyes.
Are her nails dipped in paint or blood?
It doesn’t f*cking matter when you look
at her lips.
Like most madres, Morticia isn’t
scared of blood
isn’t scared of what comes out of her.
Para ella, there are no safe words
only conjuros
only palabras encantantos
only lumbre y moonlight.
