Blood puddles
scattered all throughout
and in,
sinister sin
and doubt
mislabeled in tiny print
on the surface of
aged tin,
where am I?
who am I when I am here?
a beauty beds down
as I am cotton
and comforter
I am lace
and loveless,
I run my fingers
through thickly coiled locks
the spoils of communication
of cowardly constitution,
whats worse than waiting
when her serpents sing,
I am frozen faces
waiting for you,
when stared down?
My jaw line:
chiseled
statues
weak at the knees
Bravo!
Brilliantly new version of an old myth. The perspective, the short, delicate lines, and the coy rhymes create a moving and sinister readin experience. I am much impressed!
