She Comes She Goes - A Feminist Woman

She Comes She Goes

no date too many iterations

jp melville

she comes

she goes

she spins on a merry go round

no known switch she does not know

to stop and step she does not know

around she comes

around she goes

outside the darkness flying past

'til dizzy losing her head

she sees things

temptation desire lust or hope

she reaches out to touch them

a blur passing by

passing by the touch finger tip to finger tip

like a whispered breeze at once come at once gone

warm soft tingling passing by

wham

she passes

electricity coursing through

her bones her veins

she whirls in on the merry go round

shocked

shaking

down on her knees

discovering loss in discovery

painfully

slowly

raising her eyes

looking in now on her brightly painted animals

up down up and down

in circles twirling round and round

lights that sparkle

dazzling eyes her eyes

creatures she has lived with so many years

strange beasts now new never seen before

she turns cranes her neck

to look on the darkness swirling by by by

oh

she groans

her knees break strength

she sinks slowly to the floor

the merry go round swirls twirls

lifeless horses

pityless

dazzling eyes

she weeps
