You Be The Beast

 
 
 
As you tiptoe  
over the eggshells  
of  
history  
and genetics  
spending your words  
carefully  
 
Watching a teapot  
do the Tango  
A candlibre  
sing ballads  
to the moon  
Hearing sonnets  
recited by a carpet  
to the stars  
 
I'll girl up  
I'll play Beauty  
And you  
Oh, you darling  
you be the perfectly  
cast
human animal  
 
The door will
creak
though  
when it closes  
 
I'll hold the rose  
you fight off  
the Vanilla  
 
You be the beast!
