Malynda Traitor Ribbon Road Blues

Malynda recites the verses for one more ghost
She strives for information on the missing host
she blesses herself before the holy host
but thinks that maybe it could just be toast
She raises the wine for a golden toast
and thinks of the ongoing hall-spit roast
and the boss of the trumpets and his joking roast
I-Jackal slips his knife out in a wild boast
she knows it is she he will hurt the most
she thinks of the times on the ivory coast
when everything at high speeds was allowed to coast
when she was a writer for the daily post
and the writing on the wall she would always post
to the top of heavy bent iron post
