Little Rabbit Hole
She's led her down a rabbit hole.
The dirt there knows her well, she's told.
His adamancies nations move.
She is betrayed but hates to lose.
She makes herself doubt her own things
Her dreams have tempted with drawn wings
Sketched and outlined, pencil: Bold
But pretty things are untouched, cold
She knows what she knew long ago
What gives her up's a simple toe
Banged on what, she does not yet know,
But pain is pain is inked wings aglow
She knows his love is true
She knows her pain makes him mute
Some sex-smiles might cause sleep for awhile
But crashes split even red Nile
