life in the castle

the new queen:
what are these crazy waves?
the wind howling wildly
circling the tower
lifting up dead leaves from far away forests
slapping them against my window
i want you now
my body can not wait
i scream at reasonable people
patience?
i know the wind has never roared a word like that

and that morning:
running up and down spiral staicases
not quite knowing which tower you will be in
i look for animals too
the wild ones, that move through here

the old king:
castle spirit
wild animals up and down staircases
and
sorely impatient; not reasonable....
I see you in my lap.....and we are entwined
the wind is howling
but we are louder

  1. Your best writing ever!

    It makes me think about weathering a storm with you

    And I have experienced wind fiercely howling outside.

  2. I lived for a short time in a castle

    But it was very cold and lonely

    The wind and my discontent were glacially cold

    No warm lap or someone to be entwined with

    I was impoverished

    Well there was one person but she was a witch

    Had to leave to find a warmer lap and heart
