silk
stretched out
surrounds the pale
touched
by all
who pull the veil
She pulls the silk tight,
and turns down the lights.
The knot was slit in two;
threads he pulled and held onto.
She said
leave me alone..
You sliced the knot
but never pulled the right thread,
& then you left me for dead.
She said
leave me alone..
I’ve had enough
of the crown on your head.
This queen has jumped from your bed.
She’s told you a thousand times:
Your voice whispers secret crimes.
Don’t close your eyes for fantasy.
She’s praying hard for your misery.
She said
leave me alone..
You sliced the knot
but never pulled the right thread,
& then you left me for dead.
She said
leave me alone..
I’ve had enough
of the crown on your head.
This queen has jumped from your bed.
She says to
leave me alone, now
Don't close your eyes for fantasy
She said
leave me alone..
You sliced the knot
but never pulled the right thread,
& then you left me for dead.
She said
leave me alone..
I’ve had enough
of the crown on your head.
This queen has jumped from your bed.
