Grim Fairy Tale

By susanne

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Warning: Material may be offensive and or triggering - deals with child abuse. Fly paper stick in front of my nose hands and ankles tied in an offeratory pose Sour semen smell from the hanky in my mouth Father time ticking in the sweat beneath my blouse Garden snakes slither within my earthen tomb Humpty Dumpty's falling while the dish runs away with the spoon And if Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow It died away that blackened day and up the chimney rose The King was too strong She couldn't get away So little Miss Muffet was raped today While little Jack Horner stood mute in the corner Vomiting curds and whey Where was the old woman who lived in the shoe When crimes were committed against me and you? She was with Mother Hubbard Head stuck in the cupboard Scrubbing the wood through and through Written April 14th, 2002 © on Apr 14 2002 03:11 AM PST    18 • 0 • 10
