Hell Hole
If you don't watch,
I promise to slip out the back when
no one's looking
never return.
I'll find a mushroom and a magic rabbit
and spiral down a hole to Hell--
or was it
Wonderland...?
"Is there a difference?"
Mangy cat grins and greets me
leads me to. The Duchess: wants to
eat me. Drink me
says the bottle on the table
labeled "Poison."
And I do so with
a deathwish
but all I get are Roses
calling me a weed
as if I need their condemnation!
I face damnation here already.
For falling down the hole
to
Holy Hell! A Red devil!
If she wants my Heart
I'll serve it on a silver plate
and replace it with a Spade.
There's no finding My way back.
All ways are Hers. And once you
swallow Diamonds to get here,
you can wander
This Way ->
<-Yonder
Doesn't matter.
Card guards club you if you
attempt escape.
Escape's what brought you
in the first place.
