bile

These are the things, then,
which we self-endowed gods must prize

above our own creations:
Jealousy, Obsequity, Betrayal, Sin
of any sort that suits our affected moods.

My bile is thicker than your blood.

sidestepping broken bottles,
she trudges homeward—
high-heels in one hand,
halo in the other.
