Seen


“You want to do this,” the witch whispered into her ear.  “His love is only for the worthy.”  But she did not want his love.  She wanted only for the old woman in the crinkly clothes  who smelled of lavender powder to let her go.  Let me go.

I have a secret words
will never find,
images I tucked
away.

I once heard a voice.
It beckoned me,
singing,
tell me your secrets,
your hopes and fears
and jealousies.
I whispered back in the
safest voice I could
reveal,
my dreams mean nothing
to you.
