BECAUSE YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL
Because you are so beautiful, the
world
will cast dark veils between you and
your dreams;
And so your dreams will rage like
horses through
the midnight square, and fill with screams
the dreams of all the good folk and their
brood.
They’ll chain you to your books in
musty rooms:
Ensure that your rebellion is ‘put
down.’
Your burning lamps will cast a
furious glow;
how they will hate to see their
souls revealed-
Those covered portraits stored in
hidden cells.
Priests will bemoan your wolfish ways
and all the flock will jostle in
their cage.
Blood beneath your claws: Blood-driven rage.
Because you are so bright and
beautiful-
They’ll crucify you with their fear
my CHILDREN
!
