she struck the root
that sprung the tree
stabbed the heart
to watch it bleed
its sap she drank
in orgasmic greed
tapping the essence
to build her strength
sunlight was denied
as knowledge was forbidden
its branches forced to bow
in total submission
love was the word d
that spat from her tongue
tearing off with her claws
the bark-shield it donned
the withered remains
of no use to her now
save to continue to manipulate
and her ego to masturbate
sleepy with contentment
obese off its misery
she rested by a stream
and surveyed her domain
when by accident it happened
a ray of light touched down
upon a single leaf it poured
feeding it truths once hidden
its essence expanded
the sap freely circulated
the trunk grew skyward
out of reach from her grip
its branches became lush
as she began to shrivel
each new leaf and flower
sustaining its budding power
the hungry roots devoured
bursting through her bones
consuming her bit by bit
frenzied by each pint of blood
through her flesh sprang children
nurtured on a dead tyrant
her corpse lay rotting
the tree looked down smiling
