The Virgin Suicides

  1. there was much deliberation that followed... but as i could not sleep these words came to me last night... i guess a sort of first impression after the initial shock.

    she knew right from the start..
    even before the little one took
    it upon herself to escape.

    ambushed in a safety net
    the holes were so obvious for her to see.
    stone foxes are much to weighted
    to move freely. cunning nonetheless
    she cracked the hide in her nest.

    no longer time left to to play by the rules.
    a death bomb ticking away
    swallowing up the days
    of her youth.

    days of discovery and naivety long lost
    without ample chances to make even mistakes.
    life leaves just a phrase ringing
    in rhythm to slowing hearts and creaky ropes
    from ceilings..

    it's too late
