The Loki Dance

Chess Stakes

well i have had some time to think
well i don't suppose now is the time
to be meek these things that hold so
deep inside spill out so very red
cannot hide so easily as eyes
flutter lashes and hold my fan the
warmth is going to my head as long as
we're dancing this dance we may as well
hum the tune and be merry for this is
the last
for this is the last before June

She came in, with her envious eyes
she came in no more envious than I
could see her taking your attention from me
but I must not have held it so well
i must not have held it so well for it
to be

twirling away a mask in place
i won't let my heart out of my clutching
cancerous grasp I keep in in check
so I won't be met by the gravity of the words
on his lips
pawn taken I'm naked in this

check mate.
