An Escape from Solitude (Sleeping Beauty)
a glow disturbs
a peacful night
a hesitant breath
cold stone underfoot
Do not touch
make sure you are alone.
of course you are,
you have been told,
Do not touch
whatever this is,
is not worth living,
Do not touch
whatever this is,
is not worth finishing,
Do not touch
whatever this is,
it is not your fate.
an alien pain,
and then,
kissed by sunlight,
and something else,
open your eyes,
Touch.
