Nothing But Miss Havisham
Exalted exotic upper class and exclusive
Closed off long-necked extreme and unsolvable
Haunted ship castle mad-house-tower asylum
Lost Sleeping Beauties fell out of their past. And
Baronesses.
Wandering tired lady aristocrats
Baronesses choked by their own shrivelled hair
Mannerism rococo Art Nouveau Baroque
Gothic laceneck serieses. Nothing but foolish
Young ladies.
A hand a rose falling from a window
Candle light medieval waltz midnight hour
Some powder-rats rule the ship’s bottom
Superstition prophecies saturday witches. Many Gothic
Lacenecks.
How many broken down rose-bearers! As if alive
They died in her gentleness
The girl goes to the cemetery
Carrying her beloved lovely
Burning twigs flame fiery.
Exalted Exotic Upper Class And Exclusive
Closed Off long-Necked Extreme And Unsolvable
