This is part of a huge project I'm working on.
liquor fascinates
strangulates
kisses goodnight lips
and pairs tortured people
into bedspread lullabies.
mimics a brother
telling a sister
a whisper-wood
to make sure
she finds solace at night
and in the best friends
with bark.
so that the desperate
can sleep, the fearful
can rest, the angry
can quiet. contemplative
and flirty, laughing with
the wolves - dancing with
the mimes. she can’t
hear the wind in the
paper-chimes for once.
muse doesn’t tap dance
on her forehead with
spiked stilettos and
clown-faced makeup
to tempt her
to an oblivion of
lonely nights and the
booze, tainted with
the feigned dignity
that is loneliness.
