Into Another - ‘May I?’
May I Love you madly
like a boy?
Kiss you sadly?
Feed you tears and drink your skin?
Invite myself right in?
May I?
Her
Half-child voice falls on my head like warmest ocean waves
GENTLY and deliberately drowning me
And WILLINGLY I drown.
If I ask politely
Will you watch as I die nightly?
Would you think me TACTLESS if I act LESS like the man I am?
May I?
Her
Half-closed eyes like those,
on a tired TIGERESS.
Gently and deliberately melt my BULLETPROOF MIRRORSHADES
AND
Knowingly
Lovingly
Peer inside at MY REAL EYES
And I can’t help but SMILE
No I can’t help.
-tigeress-
Would you think me thoughtless
If I thought less of myself from time to time,
Or if I knowingly, willingly lost what’s left of my MIND
Oh, I can’t help but smile
No, I can’t help.
I was going to use this in a scene in the Karsh Kentu tales where he’s wearing modern clothing and some certain someone confronts him and does indeed melt his eyewear, revealing him as he really looks.
[Yes, the someone would have been Abilene the Seer. She just can’t help herself when it comes to meddling.]
This was also the song I was listening to when I decided that Abilene has a power to command people with her voice.
“Bulletproof Mirrorshades” would be a good name for a rock band.
