Sleeping Beauty
By Carmina Gitana
This thorny, horny, hoary, punk-spiky
prick-thicket of swollen red
infection waiting to happen,
& pain-cries & suckled fingers
& never-agains,
snarled, snarling, shriveled, vicious,
waiting
for something soft to come along,
something to stab
& satisfy
its curiosity -
"What is that plant?"
It once bore roses, red
red roses.
"Is it dead?"
Not dead. They say, there is still
beauty sleeping
inside.

I love the sing song aspect of the first half of this. That is why I like Poe so much. Few can pull it off. Sometimes I wonder if you realize exactly how good you are.
