Smoke from her cigarette spiraled up into the midnight sky

Desperate and searching and longing

When all that was left of it had turned to ash

She crushed it beneath her foot

Let it kill me

She screamed into the night

I dare you to wipe me from the face of the Earth

Teach me the evils of godhood

And I'll rise from the grave you put me in

Burning and monstrous,

To show you the unmasked becoming  

Of  a woman

What is womanhood if not a monstrosity?
