Her


            Picture: Lady Hamilton as Circe by George Romney

Those are foolish things,
by god-
Bloated lies
that froth in a mouth-
fish preying on fish.

She left it ajar,
the door to
her mind-
it creaks
like a toad behind
her.

Tick-tick, the clock,
the door’s unlocked-
Life won't knock.
Death will find
her.

Mocks her,
the aunt-
loose woman.

Mother knows.
She’s trying
to blind
her.
