Red Queen💊

I toss and play    
with the softness of  
bluish that unravels    
while I chase    
    
losing itself among    
the bed clothes    
where I burrow and    
follow    
   
like Alice tumbling    
into darkness    
through    
an endless tunnel    
   
leaving bottles    
in a row    
with their red queen    
to behead me    
   
keeping guard    
in a nightstand    
reflection    
in the water glass    
   
handfuls of    
nightmare in an    
oil-slick rainbow    
whose mythic pot    
recedes    
   
until at last    
I reach where I    
can drink the    
shrinking potion
