Smashing the Pumpkin
In the dream,
I pulled the pink sash off her dress completely,
until the only pink I saw was the pink soft crater on her breasts
and to have her look at me with such intensity again
Accusing me of denying her freedom
In the dream,
she did not go to the ball
I did not see her twirling for the prince like a duster twirling on old bookshelves
caressing the binding with a quick swish swish
spreading pixie dust and making my heart float
I envied the dress as it consumed her on the dance floor
In the dream,
I grabbed the slipper and smashed it until it was grains of sand again
Her tears, I kissed away in successive pecks
the soot on her face, I licked away that night
she would not have to sleep in the cellar
Mother can hurt herself trying to stop me
She would be under my protection
and I, in her arms
My Cinderella
