Geri

Ultimately, she will be served 
on her stained bed of silver, 
placed on the table of a rich man 
with an apple in her mouth 
forced into a glazed dress 
with her palms pointed to God. 

I have never quite been 

Just as confused

Than on that quiet and sad afternoon

As I lay on the ground

And watched joy abound

As the sun danced around with the moon

Although it was day

the water, like a glass between-
the other world, and me

here i am, in this imprisonment-
the rivers, bars of my cage

i swim-
but never can i break the surface.

what deed have i done-
to deserve such a punishment?
