Fountain Hair
Fountain Hair
Can’t remember whose name I croon when I cry,
Mumbling a mixture of half-truth incantations.
I’m not even sure which demons I’m summoning.
The flowers sang like they were supposed to,
The water in my chalice, charged by the full May moon,
But my wand won’t work against lovers like you.
I can’t remember whose name I croon when I cry,
Can’t afford to resist love meant to be mine.
About this poem
I heard this poem in my head the dining hall I work at while I was whispering the names of the men I was thinking of. I walked home and worked it out into a poem.
