Don't Let Them In

Don't let them in

I am too tired

To hold myself carefully

And wink when they circle

The fact that I'm trapped

In this body

Don't let them in

I have my own dreams

About that couple

In an alternate ribbon of time

My dances were sacred

And my lisp was evidence

That I spoke for

Both spirits

Don't let them in

They’re well intended

But each comment rattles some deep

Ancient queen
