A Tragic Story

[hester_prynne]

She embraces
electricity,
he electrocutes
himself.

She's content
with loneliness,
he remains,
attached at hip.

She is ever
glad to see him,
he her too,
despite his treason.

She's his long lost
gypsy mirror,
his emptiness,
her sacred fear.

Their compromise,
does exist,
strung out,
in a myth's abyss.

Glistening love,
in purgatory,
a star-lit dream,
a tragic story.

[Doreen Peri]
