Belladonna

The news (noose) chokes me
Without a grip on Entertainment TV:
My voice is a whisper among Hollywood screams.

It is all that is fabulous –
But all that glisters is not gold.

Oh Bella Donna (belladonna)
Sister of Narcissus
You danced your way in
Secreted from the root
Now your dazzling eyes
So hypnotic and enticing
(an intoxication that weds body and mind)
Imprisons and torments.

Narcosis and paralysis.

Bodies,
Impregnated by vicious lies
That rip and melt
You seek the fabulous;
You seek the deadly nightshade.

Your ears are not for me.

I still plant in your garden
For hope.
