its not really poetry, but its pretty, he said.
As he raises his voice, she lowers her head.
it makes my heart heavy, youre lonely, I think.
Oh, rose, youre sad, I suppose.
look in her bed and shes bound to be sleeping.
Shes lying there dead. - no, shes breathing.
Furious rose, with your opiate eyes,
Your languorous hum, that tone of surprise
Ive heard energy in adversity.
Your smile: the soul of witchery.
Youre not running away,
Youre not running - are you?
Lyrically longing, shes tearing the words from the page.
Shes fearfully seething.
bring me your blessings, a prayer, or a new pen.
- you dont know what I need.
look in my bed and Im bound to be sleeping,
Im lying there dead, but Im breathing.
And Im barely balancing as it is,
And I dont want to drown in my dreams
Bring me wild plums and agrimony
I bet you dont even know what that means.
Furious rose with your opiate eyes,
Your languorous hum, that tone of surprise.
Ive heard energy in adversity.
Your smile: the soul of witchery.
Youre not running away,
Youre not running - are you?
Gingerly peering, over his shoulder, removed herself from the room.
Shes terribly freezing, she always knows when to go.
