before all else,
you are a wife and a mother
i’ve existed
merely to perform tricks for you
she stretched
her gleaming neck, like a rush-imbedded swan
we must not
look at goblin men, we must not buy their fruits
she drooped as a lily in the drought
when the goblin fruit had worked its will
a songbird must
have a clean beak to sing with. otherwise she’ll start twittering out of tune
no man would
sacrifice his honour for the one he loves
their offers should not charm us
their evil gifts would harm us
for there is no friend
like a sister, in calm or stormy weather
eat me,
drink me, love me
doubly blank
in a woman’s lot
i’ve been
your doll-wife
i cannot
remain with you any longer
i have other
duties just as sacred. duties to myself.
only, my secret’s
mine, and i won’t tell
our home
has been nothing but a playroom
