Aperture

To save from the ever changing tide;

to never fall. This innocent’s

tumbling, tumbling ride

quite like Alice’s twisted descent.

Is this to be the fate of all

the girls who flower harvest?

Forced to hell, meant to appall

and frighten all the rest.

Yes, the world is full of holes

But I will hide within the poppy field,

watch my step, refuse the ferrier’s tolls.

I will never, never yield.

Now, this is the vital chore,

to anchor safe upon the shore.
