Crumpled dawn awakens me
I too am disheveled
Sheets seeming grimy
Wrinkles are more apparent
In early light
Mascara accents
Ever widening circles
Beneath my topaz eyes
My golden eyes
My bedroom eyes
I am empty
Even of loneliness
All that is left
Of crystal bubbles
I put away
In my memory mind
Later I will choose
Only the best
To remember
And the rest...
The ugliness fades even now
I await the evening stars
To wish upon again.

| Writing Prompt |
Write a poem - any style, any genre - inspired by or similar in theme to the Bjork song 'Bachelorette' (see selected lyrics below). Go crazy (Bjork is a talented lady, but she's nuttier than a schizophrenic squirrel, so let's revel in that!) - free your imagination, and let's see what we can come up with! Sample lyrics from the start and the end of the song (feel free to look up the rest, of course):
I'm a fountain of blood
In the shape of a girl
-----
I'm a tree that grows hearts
One for each that you take
You're the intruder's hand
I'm the branch that you break |
