Mother Goose, Mother Goose,
Father Gander
Watch them, watch them, watch them squirm,
Fighting off the slander

Not a gown, and not a cape
Can hide their shameful faults
Corset, tie, nor cane in hand,
Not even Gravesmen’s vaults

Secrets, gossip from once-friends
Spread amongst their loved ones
Thrown like seeds in farmer’s field
Even God does them shun

Mother Goose, Mother goose,
Father Gander
Even though they were so close
Everyone lacks candor
think of it like a child's song

Supple and soft and tender as cream
Used to be one, used to be like a dream
Others would run, they would scream at our face
Oh, how much fun we would have in the chase!

They called us monster, how bright their lights shown
And you listened close, you left me alone
I fought and I fought and you ignored my great plight
But you, you want more, and you think I won’t fight?

Listen, listen, can’t you hear the song?
Must I wait? Wait ever so long?
We were one, that much was sure
But it seems, just one can endure

Pretty, pretty blood and guts
your’s, the same as all those ******
Can you feel the pain, the hurt?
This is yours, your just desserts


Hear me now, listen close
You should know, your hatred shows
Not just me, I shall not lie
For not by my hands,
*You
Will
Die.
Part of a novel, where it makes far more sense.

Doors, both ways,
and a journey, each
and yet so far,
you’ll never reach!
Like a mad bird

I used to savor them.
Now I'm just waiting for
the fireworks to end

Little Laura Laingsbury,
Once a friend,
Twice a threat,

She sang a song of blueberry
And blackberry
And dead

For her there was a hung jury
For she, a woman free

Take her,
Take her,
Take her there,
Down to the lynching tree

An eye for an eye
a tooth for a tooth
for all of me
I'd only accept
all of you
Rachel Cloud May 2014
i am nothing
and everything

and you can't stop me
