You made love tangible.

You keep knitting
other people wings
while yours
still shattered
lie on the floor
of a bathroom.

My father
was like Peter Pan
He taught me
how to fly
and how to NEVER
grow up.

My mother
was like Hook
She taught me
not to trust men like Peter
in order to survive.

The clock on the crocodile
taught me
one is fun
the other necessary.

Nocturna.

The darkest
most dangerous parts of me
come out at night
They wake me
and shake me
and scream
"Let's dance!"

And sometimes
I can't help
but join them

Because
if there's something
I know how to do
is dancing

Even if it means
going through he'll
to stop
and take some sleep
