She'll Show

Where's Tonia?
"Go home
she'll show
as soon the drugs are gone
she'll show"

If we'd have been blow flies
we would have found her
Dipteran bloodhounds
randy for the smell

of blood and guts
that seasons every breeze
in this town where
black is black and nothing more


He was the devil
his demon-glow made  Gladys  fight strong
and she did not die like so many others

But black is black in a town where
women disappear
         and no one asks
cops can't hear
         and no one cares


the smell of death goes unnoticed
blame the sausage factory
blame the sewers
and black is still black



Tonia's black
and Tonia finally did show
as a brief blue glow
when wet with luminol
