| Turn and Twist Turn and twist, shaking around some other youth with your husky voice meant for dark nights and your curtained eyes built for winking-- slowly. Turn and twist, quickly moving under the protection of paper and pen, using both to drop and forget, to mock and betray. You are crushing your bloom before it even opens; leave it for another, stop taunting it with the poisons you use to drown it. Let it smell sweet, forget musk, allow daylight to enter its sleepless nights and forget the jade clothes you wear. |
