it was from another town time
a drama queen in her daydream
with her same age john
wearing the lies she gave him
for his handfuls of christmas

their castle had cardboard walls
and cellophane windows
I knew the smell of them
wet paper on a warm afternoons
when they did their things animal

she still circles now and then
in her black dress hem less
praying to the impaler
for punishment for her sins
since the only ache she ever knew

was draped over her throne backwards
til it dangled from his shoulders
like a harpy's pale mantle
and her french speak was broken
learned in school like poetry

that had been ridden without wheels

Moving this back up to the top so more people can be awed by it.

The soul would have no rainbows, had the eyes no tears.

The outside discourse of your
inward voice lessons leave a lot
to the imagination, Sir.

But I imagine the harpy is a happy
bird tonight.

Well done.
