Cutthroat
cutthroat you pirate and I the
swashbuckling heroine
ranting and raving mad
hysteria and I the little
pill in the bottle
lover, whore, wife, sister, daughter, mother,
it is I
you cast into the night or sliced into
meager porportions of your love,
desire
capabilities and culpabilities
jackknifed on the broader road
of nobility, a Knights game
pawns on a chessboard,
black and white pieces
of humpty dumpty
fallen
who will never rise again
the same sentiment as the way
of I sitting in a chair,
a wallflower
who receded unseen into
the background
