Mrs Jackson

Light as a feather
Provoked by wind
Chasing bad weather
Again and again

Many things change
Transform and bloom
But she stays the same
A chosen doom

If looks could kill
Nothing would breathe
The tree on the hill's
Leafs would leave

Her skin crawls
At a loving touch
She's stacking walls
With words and such

Her only true love
Hides in her closet
A personal pub
And lips to lock it
