An Escape from Solitude (Sleeping Beauty)


a glow disturbs

a peacful night

a hesitant breath

cold stone underfoot

Do not touch

make sure you are alone. 

of course you are,

you have been told,

Do not touch

whatever this is,

is not worth living,

Do not touch

whatever this is,

is not worth finishing,

Do not touch

whatever this is,

it is not your fate. 

an alien pain,

and then, 

kissed by sunlight,

and something else, 

open your eyes, 

Touch.
