Why Some Roses Are Black

Let me go away from you

and from your hugs. The kitchen was ready

to bake you in moonlight.

 

I had decided to remove

my thumbs. World was going to

win to burn the books for a cult.

 

The author sits quietly.

Smiles at poison in milk. Why does she

want to play with the asps like Cleopatra?
