An Empty Nest

Writer: Maria SequelMaria Sequel

I wonder what makes me

What keeps me

From seeing

Leaving

I wonder what takes me

Sweeps me

Off my feet

A dirty murderer so neat

I wonder what kills me

Fills me

If not love so lovely

So very red and filthy

A poison so milky

So I know, I think

What makes it pink

The red and milk

Sharp teeth under sheets silk

Await me, enervate me

Leaving me no longer flesh

But his fulfilled need

An empty nest

At best

I take to breast

All that remains

Whatever sustains

For me

In me

I know one day

Some day

Far, far away

Is where I'll be

Safe and cozy

From snow and blood, Comes a man untouched, In virtue and verse, Through her letters terse, A wayward fire, In work and tire, Unravels...
