The Labyrinth

My hair is done in black ribbon,

bare feet on cobblestone

floor is crisp, cold against my toes.


I wonder in a never-ending line,

turning and twisting with the corridors

of high walls. The atmosphere is purple.


I haven’t run into the beast yet,

but I see the mark of its bull horns

engraved as it drags its head against the walls.


Labyrinth of hopes and dreams,

plagued by the thought of a nightmare.

I’m the candle in its darkness,

wish in the flicker of heat.


I don’t think I want to find the end,

or even go back to the beginning.
