Literature Text

She slams the door, out on a long night's run,
His squirrel, his skylark, caged herself and now runs.

The morning's in limbo, the fog a deep dun,
His breath heaves in sync with the rain and gust runs.

Midday sun plays with frivolous fun
As fingers cross, uncross and sweat and lust runs.

The kids here are different, so don't jump the gun.
They make kinetic hieroglyphs from felt tips and rust runs.

Like many I've seen many things unravel, come undone,
But I promise, when pushed, the worst thing combusts and runs.
One twelfth of my anthology for Magical Joey's competition, which I highly recommend y'all check out.

A ghazal based on There She Goes Again by The Velvet Underground. It was also partially inspired by the play A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen. Hope you enjoy!
