Thank you forever to Hannah,
a true friend and a needed friend.

 

I.

A Crime

Though I am young, no
Longer may you dirty my
Vestal livery

 

II.

Hidden

Now the sun rises
Yet you keep me in shadows
The sun sets- repeat

 

 

III.

The Escape

Like a little bird
I break free and spread my wings
And you can’t catch up

IV.

The Report

Releasing myself
From your guilt and your culpa
You betrayed me first

 

V.

Freedom, at last

In my Wickerman
I put my bodies of shame
and set it alight
