Beware
of careless writers
who want to make
a place of time
and put you in it
who never modify
a list of things
knowing you
will give them meaning
who disappear
when you leave
the room and
answer your question
with questions
who collect
beautiful objects
and adorn them
with borrowed
tired, ugly words
who put their
tortured songs
in your heart
and compel you
to carry that weight
and infect others
with their
allusions
and intimations
of insatiable desire.
Aaah...insatiable desire. I hope she ignores your warning.
