Gone Cinderella

Go, go,
Cinderella, to your cage.
Hang your dolls
and princes,
And smell like
the dining room.

I once was
a field of lilies
that trembled
for her passions.

Now I feel
the glory of mud
from ancestors
who played with
fire.

So, go now...
Cinderella.
Tell your stories
to the sinners;
they only have
the guts to
see you
for who you are.

In the midst of this not so great reset, through all the shifts, PoMo intertextuality is so sexy. Thanks for this epic swim!

Some excellent verses, loaded with fantasy and a dark reality on a white cloak of traditional Cinderella purity.

Thanks for sharing.
Good day.
