Red Twine

Sliding in between
the sheets & the lines,
Child…
don’t read so deeply,
if anything to keep
the skin on your back.

Everyone makes mistakes,
but you know You
only have so many slips,
there’s only a number
of falls allotted,
thus you must step More
wisely…

Tread lightly, for there is
a wolf in the woods
waiting w/ more patience
than you ever could.
True, you wear a hood like
little Red, but know your bed
isn’t so innocent as hers.

Look, dumb ass, there’s
blood even running down your
inner leg.
So clean up,
look around & do yourself
a favor…
