WITCHED, by Tragic Rabbit

[Tragic Rabbit]

Witched

With spells, I ward you off

Close my eyes; look away

Sacrifice pristine doves

Chanting the words aloud:

No, I do not want you

Each day I see you there

Just taking my order

Your skin a burnished brown

Eyes of jewel; ripe-red mouth

Ordinary work of art

At my lonely altar

I cry to those old gods:

Save me, hide me, keep me

Safe; unensnared by your

Accidental beauty

[Tragic Rabbit]

This one's for the cute guy at the drycleaners, the drycleaners that's OUT OF MY WAY but...

He's just so beautiful and I try not to notice.
