highlights:
“he will run on the glitter of wet streets once more” (yes he will!!!)
“the yellow rose will turn to cinder / and New York City will fall in / before we are done so hold me / my young dear, hold me” lesbian rapunzel?
“his dancing stick” lol
“where is the moral? / not all knives are for / stabbing the exposed belly. / rock climbs on rock / and it only makes a seashore.”
“never / again would their hair be tangled into diamonds, / never again their shoes worn down to a laugh, / never the bed falling down into purgatory / to let them climb in after / with their Lucifer kicking” simply iconic to read my favorite childhood barbie movie in poetry form
