You don't think I really care about such silly little trifles, do you?
Eyes hot with indifference:
Calm; heavy; jaded: "This is not so tragic.
I just need to catch my balance!"

She spun and clung to upholstered seas
Of cold and careful velvet blues, pleading....

To navigate the swirling couch by magic.
To call out the conceit that renews.
By sorcery, her sanity to conceal;
By pact or prayer, never to feel.
