Fairy Tales
Fairy Tales
The house is cold.
Windsweeps whistle in chimneys,
showering hearths with blackest melodies.
The house is cold.
Windsweeps whistle in chimneys,
showering hearths with blackest melodies.
Our shivering hearts tell Cinderella stories
while, underneath us, the rats
roll a pumpkin around in the cellar.
God, mother!
Speak true.

One of you
I could not be —
Yet, to be not-with-you, I need you:
Your is defines my notness.
One of you
I could not be —
Yet, to be not-with-you, I need you:
Your is defines my notness.
In return,
My otherness highlights you.
I am not one of you,
But I am one, and of you,
And by my aberration,
Your circle knows itself as round.

Double Signals

O false God!
You have betrayed us.
Betrayer, betrayer, betrayer!
See the man who dances between tables,
Who swirls between clay pots,
Whose soul is dry, is dry for trying,
While his beauty fades.
See my friend who screams what he cannot say,
Whose lips pull tight over his power,
Who kills his own words,
While his music rages.
You, betrayer, you have done this.
Power of our minds, construct of our childhoods, moulder of our futures,
You made us yearn, seek, believe, hold true,
While you eroded our selves in your service.
Still we dance, sing, speak an ideal
that was never ours and cannot be.

the chocolate door
peering back
through the gobbled hole
in the chocolate door
Gretl yearns to be
where jasmine beckons
and free leaves pulsate
with scattered surfeit of air
blue and clean to the lungs
draw deep
and
handspring across the dappled grass
while life leaps
