Rosalind, with the bedroom of her heart (blackout poetry)

Rosalind, with the bedroom of her heart.

Rosalind, laughing alone among beauty. 

The mirror was laughing at her,

Behind her, looking straight through her. 

Rosalind left and discovered writing.

Dreaming was a good unknown. 

Her eyes shine at her bedroom—

It was meant for an author.

    I am thinner than I thought:

    Though my scale says I'm not,

    I can see the sour fruit I've caught.

     

    In the spring, the flowers call

    Like I could be King of them all,

    Burning in the sun before the fall.

    not a cola or a root beer;

    something in between

    like a tortured machine—

    it will power down soon.

     

    that tang on your tongue

    is from my chewed up wires,

    lightning should show through smoke

    I'm sorry

    Sorry that I keep getting stuck in that well;

    Sorry for always relying on your rope;

    Sorry for putting all my guts on display;

    Sorry for influencing you to decide like me;
