Anastasia Falls

Let me be like the waterfall

In your dreamland forest. . .

 

I’ll never stop running down

Don’t ever stop flowing for them

 

But my cool water will only

Be for you my lioness

I will poison the others

When they try and think

That they know how a moving

Body as mine could

Just keep moving on over

A smooth body like yours

But not this time

 

You collapsed the bottom

Of the pit where I hold

All of the darkest **** in my life

And you knew it, but not really

Your diamond eyes

Saw right through me

 

I saw a little kitten appear

Out of the thick crowd

Of chickens and near-death

Running bulls and run up to me

And say “You remind me of someone”

 

But he is dead already

Rest in peace

 

Until we can finally meet

Again on the blurry banks

Of the crystal blue springs

 

In your eyes
