hush


"hush..."

could mean there might be
someone in the trees listening

or a deep snowfall delaying the day's routine

even a harsh lover with biting kisses
strict commands and silent vows

each sensation a subtle
madness enticing the pulse

"move closer..."

was dust, distraction, something
that could happen naturally had
she not been told to do so

her native defiance reared up
like a sequined unicorn dancer

running towards virginal music
