Bright red bodies spread away
As she leans in for a peek,
Crawl, prick, cover the brick
Of the hall of ivy,
Spindly legs weave a
Blanket of a thousand limbs<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through slits of light a
\nA flash of silk,
\nBlue and gold bells
\nRing a sharp warning to
\nHer witnessing eyes
\nThrough the leaves <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They conceal the secrets of
\nCold stone against the knees
\nOf the little one,
\nHer velvet green dress for a special day wasted,
\nTorn by mortar that
\nBinds <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Close those crusted eyes,
Recite the silent chant and run
From what\u2019s been seen,
Let it lie,
Long and knowing, whispering a
Lull of hush <\/p>\n\n\n\n
