Repurposed

some folk keep their demons in the cupboards

    some under the stairs

    under the bed locked up in pairs

some folk keep their demons in their pocket

    others far, far away

    some keep their demons locked up

    hoping to keep them at bay

I keep my demons ground fine

    to add sparkle to my eye shadow

    a shimmer to my waterline

        their blood a paste to moisturize

    and make my skin oh – so – fine

conditioning my hair with demon bile

    a jar in the fridge for nail polish
no need to abolish

    the sinful little fuckers

if they come for me

    I’ll eat them up

        munch and bite

            demon bone to keep the teeth white
