Complex Cinderella

thought for the day:
how can my aching feet of clay
fit inside the pristine
glass slippers
you have to offer
considering I'm not
my fairy godmother's daughter
even so
I bought her
a lot of sweet time
wishing away
my blood & grime

past my prime
the clock struck twelve
a long time ago
and the pumpkin is rotting
and the magic is melting
like so much snow
I know you can see me
clearly
in my rags
the flags are whipping
white against blue
and I am not waiting on the carriage
that is bringing me
you.
