Somewhere In The Bole of A Tree~A Poem by NoneOfYourBusiness akaKITTY KUTABAREakaCandyPoleThey killed me under a willow tree that never learned how to weep I was so young and didn't understand that I was supposed to stay under the dirt didn't understand that they had meant for daisies to grow out of my bones meant for all the stains of blood on my petticoats to stay buried and out of the books of those different kind of faerie tales but I crawled the edge of the box into the woman's lap and she curled me through her smile unlatched the golden clasp brushed her fingertips against my ankles as I kicked the mud against the oak dug my fingernails into the rocks and dirt the roots and crawled back into the world in my stains ash underneath my eyes. . . . “Pandora.” the old woman fell apart into a thousand pine needles the man dug his fingertips through the body of the wreath drawing blood out of his sins I smiled I curtsied they had no choice but to scoop me up I had no choice but to recreate me knowing one day I would push the monsters through the velvet curtains carve them into every page with my quill bleeding their ink into the parchment; and when they see their ungirl all grown up out in a world for her to paint the monsters will reassemble out of the bole of a tree and bleed their footprints into the ground looking for their girl who was supposed to stay buried with all their dirty secrets and all their inhuman minds and they will hook her back into the mythos of it all but she will already have told her tale and this time would stay buried with marigolds blossoming from her bones under a willow tree that will learn to weep on that day
