Cruella

Poof! From nowhere Once alone now feel surrounded Eagle eyes spy from afar Sniffs out the scent Circles the prey Papers mysteriously moved Conversations ended with a click...only to be followed by a second Wrestling and playing mind games Belittlement creates joy Layer by layer peeling away But as...

Comments on Anne Sexton's Transformations

My Love
