A Poetry Sporadical of Repeating Forms
A Poetry Sporadical of Repeating Forms
I thought that you knew better.
Let her
Go, or, before she’s died,
Decide
Exactly what she’s going to do,
Before you
Commit her, like you’ll want to,
To a life of being undead—
Lonely, thirsty, always unwed.
Let her decide before you.
