mirror slipper

there’s something about last night i can’t remember

it’s something to do with a mirror, a slipper and going up the stairs

i logged the lines poorly

i gave you the only heart shaped flavour in the box

you thought it was a sign

i found the wrapper in the drain

wondered should i flush it, drown it or chuck it

haunting, evocative and poignant

especially like the ultra-modern line "i logged the lines poorly". It bridges fairy tale to in your face. Dig it. I wonder if the last line is cynical, despairing or self-effacing. cheers, Jess
