I

Linen Gown

I hear the stones fertile
whisper the cry trapped
in chains of lace and
singed brocade plucked
from the tapestries
of our boudoir
I lay tumbled folded
in your gown of coarse
linen
Enticed tortured by the
sound of a creaking bed
concealed within the
malignant garden in my
head as I sleep
