he last time i saw you,lethes daughter
life with me was just begining to teach you to snip
the last lingering of any silver hope threads
which might remain
to later snare and cut you
even tho you had only recently turned five
purple blossoms were swallowing your eyes
gorging away upon
the fragile tissue paper skin
beneath your eyes
petals hungry for youe purity
you stalked me,like a shadow
biting hard at your lip
and clenching your heart
and i still tried so hard just to deny
i had sold you to hecate
to the poppies flowering up
both my arms
i threw you from me
abrupt
my
pale
face a clenched fist
i sold you to trudge
