Here, upon this greying carpet
midst the shards of...
Falling through the bitter tears
of love's unlovely dream...
Disquiet sits quietly
making mental notes...
In dark of night when creatures foul
Roam freely through the mansion grounds...
Trapped beneath the burning
heat of a remote suns rays...
Look at me.
No, really see...
Poisonous beauty.
Spreading lauded wings...
She lies,
determination writ in each...
Watch,
as in my eyes the light...
I can still feel the chalk dust
as it clogs my nose and infiltrates...
Silver fingers caress dark water,
becalming its heaving mass...
It’s not my fault that the unicorn lied
Or the hippogriff hid all my clothes...
