Suicidal ballerinas

David (Buddha309) Hargarten

Suicidal ballerinas
Listen to Ziggy Stardust
Wondering
If they will still be cool
                In he morning
                After the mother ship leaves them
                Stranded
a delusional Apache dancer
With a beret and a black cigarette
Laughing at something existentially ironic
Making quaint double entendre.
Is it appropriate to bring up my incurable case of Ennui?
Let me dance this fandango
Upon reflections of my own grave
Let me whisper you a tragic love song
Capture tour smile in a portrait of Jean Paul Sartre
These bodies will become foam on the sea
These words
Memories of window panes
Scars on the wrists strangers
And stitches on the lips of the ones we loved
