Familiar Lady

Folder: 
2013

At 7 she rose to the familiar scents

Holding beneath her bosom these old songs;

The rose paragons of deliberate hatred

And musky coquette jewels

 

At 8 she arrived at the corner

Her old familiar grey corner 

Beneath her brow she longed for something more

Something of mellifluous honey; words

 

At 9 she almost rose to the bookstore

But with a slit on each wrist,

She couldn't quite hum the old familiar tune
