It would be so easy to
wade in that pool, drown
with all the others.
The warm water invites,
beckons with refreshing promise,
But oh, the bottom is so
Murky deep.
And it looks so solitary,
Calls to only me, but
I know about the bodies below.
Bluebeard's closet, that
is, women drawn to the honeyed
waters, never to emerge.
do I have the strength to
walk out of this glade?
