The Hare's Ghost

The filmer's heart:

caught between thieves of

just & wisdom

wrapped in that haunted silk embrace,

with silver metal folded twice to form

that frozen ache of yours

so clear & perfect that you mask it

in glass cages draped in ash

& hidden in walls of lost lovers.

you think I let words of literature

cure my disbelief in you,

that because of lies you make

you'll view the Hare's Ghost,

capture her sorrow twice,

& weave it into the ugly society of your mind,

only to control & demean her.

& while your dementia sets in

those hollow blue eyes,

you'll only be graced with the shadow of what I've

become.
