Broken flowers & ragged breaths
she spins the earth on a piece of string
legs sailing high on the swings
her toy dog, Bruno watches
closely by a worn copy
of a linen-bound Ulysses
her latest boyfriend told her
she was ' Loopy'
& now she doubts the
sweet voices in her head
talking in sacrilege
stirring up dread
'we all have our demons'
she had replied
' But not all of us give in'
he had said
& left her standing
by the gate
to sleep
& nevermore
