The BlueIris Semi-Nightly Poem Thread, 10/3/07 |
|
—from "33"
"Sonnet 1"
Everything that happens to me these days is dangerous with love. I'm a witch at full moon. I can't be sure of anyone. I stiffen if I'm grazed by and arm or a hand combs through my hair. I won’t drink out of a strange cup or use borrowed clothing. Everything is infused with hazard and imagination's power, stronger than actual. I won't accept dinner invitations in case magic powders have been disguised in the garlic seasonings. But my house, though protected with charms, can't block the spell mortality has cast, thirty-two, I turn thirty-three.

3. That is a very beautiful way of describing |
|
how ugly social situations can be for single women. I have a few friends who refused to date or hang out in clubs because they kept finding dangerous trolls. Or more accurately, the dangerous trolls kept finding them.
I wish people could socialize without some men using it as a hunting experience. x(
