Circe ✨️
you coil her name
in the base of your tongue
it travelled daintily to regions
where fantasies fog up your memories
and unwind only on midnights
where you were alone with
a finger on a reset button
she is as ever treacherous
and heavenly
like all mad beautiful creatures
written in literature
made even more divine
as years goldened her wings
and laid poison in her belly
you tasted all shapes of strangers
but only scavenged the essence
of which she only
could ever bequeath
all almond eyes, wine stained lips
hurricane-driven qualms and the softest
'good morning
and good night'
each time she says your name
city lights roam around you
for years they remind you of fireflies
and maybe a bit of the girl
that you left ages ago
you sigh all reveries
in the empty glow of the night
and waited
till she apparrated
in the mist of your cigarette
but she's not there.
