I am a good prisoner,
tiny blue pinafores atwirl upon my sash,
I am a pinwheel in a tin mirror, tin me,
alas, all my tantrums are to no avail,

for nothing comes
to redeem or fetch me, now,
I am November in your body,
asleep with fists clenched in prayer,

killjoys cat-o-nine tails
at my back, and grinning,
caricatures of dreams I climb into
and bruise so easily,

through my brooding blue dress,
my womb fills with possums...

...drowning,

~ Alice
