Feature: Lisa Vicious Day 5

Vendetta

I don't want to be myself
I can't stand who I see,
where is the Vicious one?
I tried to love myself
but flaws bite me like fleas,
I itch,
I gnaw,
I tried to forget
and the dead memories
come like a flood,
the ink is The Blood,
my cup runneth over
while I'm being eaten alive,
by the muses,
the pain,
the memories,
the jealousies,
the empty tombs of poems
risen again -
I am both my own Judas
and poster child for Catholic dogma.

Interview Question:

Who are your favorite writers/poets?

Lisa:

I suppose this could include influences. I don’t have many favourite poets who are, for the sake of discussion, actual poets; most are musicians. I am in love with Patti Smith and Bukowski, Otep Shamaya, and Corey Taylor. Charles Baudelaire is a favourite too.
