Zephry's Breath

the Olde Ones owned me,

then threw me out to Free Air -

I still don't know who caught me -

whilst I burst, spinning, to my dizzy doom-full Fall;

I'd hoped she'd be Aphrodite –

Zepher's heavy breaths

tortured

tiny purpled me;

blown, thrown,

froz'n,

tossed,

 ...tumulted...

 traumatized

                me -

"Prithee...  ?

I seek sanctuary en la santita's flailing arms -

Thou seest  ?

a brand's a’blaze atop me maiden's fire."                                                         

                                                                 

"Undesirable Company.
Next!"

"but ...but...

Bloody sainted HoldMums bounced me !

Molten Mattress-Springers screeched !

Their sickly cackling laughter sear-ed screams

charcoaled my teeth.  " {sobs}

III epilogue

now

I've scattered -

I have lost me

amor, be wary ;  can't afford to lose thee
