Temptation

I danced in the rain

on my wedding day

on the thirteenth day of June

I've boiled the milk

and cried when it spilled

because I somehow lost the salt

I've slept east to west

on the bed facing north

and messed up the sheets on Friday

And I've dropped my umbrella

on the hard wood floor

as I sneezed in the chill of the draft

So I'll lurk under ladders

but I'm done hiding in shadows ~

a black cat ready to pounce

And I won't wait seven years

before I gather up the pieces

of this shattered and dying reflection
