Cautionary Tale
Ditsy blonde mother of Red Riding Hood
Sent her little girl alone to the wood…
Once upon a present time
That would be a heinous crime,
Mom and grandma for neglect would be sued.

A Shattered Self
My brilliance is finite
Like my will to live,
I’m running out of light
as sand falls through a sieve.
And as a life i fail,
My wicked blood runs black,
A cautionary tale
In a second hand stack.
My cries will cause a flood,
Giving proof to my old fear,
That between the cracks seeps blood;
Even mad ones don’t come near.
For a shattered self repels
And a sorry self denies,
Mirrors show no parallels
And none reflect my cries....
