Sorrow's Seduction
from my thesis: Daughter of Domesticity
I like to feel her strip my skull
and pick a part to probe.
She spits chagrin into my Grooves
and never mops my lobes.
She seeps into my ventricles
and drowns my buoyant mind.
A tendril penetrates my throat
and coils around my spine.
She tongues my thoughts until I come
to trust what she observes;
glues muntins to my dusty eyes
and cons my optic nerves.
I’m dripping with her Frame of Mind:
my fragile one, it quakes.
A contradiction. I spurns I.
My mind’s Foundation breaks.
