Juniper
reaching out into the sun
I am green in reassurance
not sure what I have done
Your bird
drifting out into the dark
with a song for you to whisper
gold chain around your heart
reverse your steps of walking in the basement
if you had seen what I'd seen before
all you wanted was a child
red as blood and white as snow
you are lying neath the tree as a sheet
with nowhere to go
heads up
I am hungry with desire
apple boxes in the basement
look like Gwyneth by the hour
patch me now
with a bandage 'round my neck
made you punch me in the jaw
crying rolling on the floor
rework your steps of staring in the mirror
if you had seen what I'd seen before
all you wanted was a child red as blood and white as snow
with a millstone around your neck
in the sea with nowhere to go
all you wanted was a love blue as sky
and black as night
she will whisper in my ear
"Iphigenia, you'll be alright"
