delve into the shimmer of her
outside my body but still part of it
dreaming up danger just to get us out
her heart beats in my chest
I want to be an idea surgeon
but I usually just end up turning the thorns over in my hands
no knife no way to make this into something beautiful
what does it mean when
evil implants itself in her
our own dark tower
can I tear it out with my own fingers-
if I can reclaim them
& if I see us in fairy tales
which splinters in the mirror are we
I am taken over by her
or maybe I choose to leave myself
just for a few hours
which is heavier?
where is the line
between her beliefs and mine?
