Beatrix Kiddo

A Monday Reflection

you could never Kill Bill me to death.
Uma Thurman Martial Artsing her way
through vixens and villains is a pastime
of which I approve.

who else could murder the father of her child
while giving her daughter a glimpse
of taking down the patriarchy with a katana sword
a dead-to-the-world craftsman steeled for her?

two installments power-packed with rage, love, grief, and gore
while the wounds of a betrayed woman
fester is top-tier viewing for pleasure.

whenever I want to escape my pain,
I Beatrix Kiddo it away.
