Ludus to mania—
A love of playfulness
turned dark and
Estranged, a burgundy
of serial romantics.
When is enough?
does the obsession
Have an end,
Or will it continue
To be fed
by daily longing
And provocation,
a cruel satisfaction
From stopping the hearts
Of others, feeling fulfilled,
only to have the need
To do it
All
Over
Again.
Based on the Wife of Bath in Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales"
