   you gypsy muse
abandoned under the rainbow
dream of a coming monsoon

pull you naked
to a city of
cigarettes & ornaments

escape
everything true
one precious moment

divine charm reigns in mirrors and smoke

when the devil pressed stories of velvet gold wickedness
in your pillows

a faint smile burning

idea pounding

tempting

to bite the apple

feeling joy and irreverence for the fluffy cackler

melt away
silent lips & sublime excuses
because change is surfacing

run through deep woods unchained
with no breakfeast
poised against
monster and mind

time to go you know

wish

try on the shoes
