Novel With a Key

my song from the free-for-all week. Just a little something I'd been working on.


Novel With a Key


Your creed,

an amalgamation of the books that you read-

I lived the love you wrote about

but never fleshed out.


Your purse,

a mobile library of classical works.

Could never grasp the narrative

from just our passages.


You’re a novel with a key

and a whiz kid with grammar

coining phrases when you’re hammered

Alexandria

taming lies.


You’re a novel with a key

and ain’t you exemplar

belly dancing in the bell jar?

Alexandria

taming lies.
