Alice

Heavy

I sit in a measuring cup

Fallen from trying to fill the brim

Onto the bowl, I tumble

Weighing null.


Parts of me disintegrate

Whisk around to see-

No meaning; fluffed up with air

Floating in decay and

Dishonesty.


Lanky

I sit on a lofty chair

Not occupying it quite;

Awkwardly tilting and upside down,

feet touching the sky


Unprecedented

I plummet; losing an absent grip

Downwards I move

And into the wall;

A ghost of hollow fight


Insensate

I play a silent harp

Unfeeling and gaunt;

Every song a gasp of air,

lulling vanquished savant


Heavy

I sit on a clouded rock

Waiting to be called once more;

If tomorrow fails to come,

I will be falling evermore.

This song. I want to wrap it around you. A shawl; Not a scarf around the neck, nor a hood for your tender ears. I want it to enclose you. Absorb you As it has me, already; I am in it. Join me, dearest
