witchcraft queen

bewitch me, whisper
sweet nothings in my ear,
wide innocent eyes.

tempt me, offer more
with your hands than i can
with my years, i've packed a cougar
and a change of clothes,
nothing more or less.
a little desire
for some fire and some rest.

(Miss Boleyn, i've got so little to lose
i'm not bothering to choose,
but i think i don't regret it.)

for some reason i feel like this was stylistically similar to my poetry, but better.

i really like this, and i think i get it. but you should explain it to me sometime later.

anne - are you mocking me? i honestly can't tell, and it could go either way. :/
(wow i can't believe i just made that face, but oh well, it was appropriate to my message.)

it used to be "i can't remember the sound that you found for me," which is a line from "virtute the cat explains her departure" by the weakerthans. you can listen to it here:
