little fists holding a cage
eyes fixed
eyes fixed
holding back rage
people coming and going
but no one stops
you are their newest little prop
ritual starts and still you are caged
your little eyes watch amazed
people in robes chanting so loud
drums to a beat
they beat so loud
you find yourself banging
your feet to the sound
Suddenly masks appear right in your face
they lift you high
right into space
they spin you this way and that
vomit appears in your throat
you know to not let it go
chanting
dancing
movement
bile
chalices topped up high
this it seems is your turn to shine
lifted in a robe
fully gold
people bowing
moaning
chanting your name
yet your name isnt the same
its a name youhavent heard before
lifted up by strong arms
you stare in his face
its kind and nice
full of grace
he whispers its ok
i wont hurt you
a crown upon his head
he says he rules the earth
and he will make me his
he lowers me gently down
silence all around
he strokes my cheek and says welcome
he turns and suddenly he crouches
i scream a long scream
into the daisies i go
because this man is the devil this i know
Cleo for one of ours
