Lolita Gardens

Topics: classic

A man weeps at your ankles,         climbs the stairs to peek-a-boo         panties, with finger clasps,         a Rapunzel lowering your hair,         the long-matted braids         a skilful weaver turns to gold.         An ivy forest in         a castle impregnated with doors,         the prince overhears the code         "let down your hair" and,         with perilous grasp,         mounts the stirrup wall,         foot to clasp,         searching cloud grey &         storm blasts for billowy mists         green within this empress queen.         Walking plasticine ledge         in the shower with a mermaid         soaping her perfumed treasure trove,         at an intersection within that woman,         her tulip trees explode -         faeryland syrupy,         tasting of apricot and sugar cane;         a swallow parting indigo sky.
