Episode 50 – Doppelgangland

She came for me
and I came for her.
We were lovers
for awhile,

the dark
and the light.

Awakening
in butterflies and daisies,
she didn’t know where
she’d been.

Who would you be if I weren’t me,
asking why you stole my boyfriend?

I try to send her back
to a world more tolerant,
but her charm
has lost its way.

Pink sweater,
banana,
orange backpack.

A fold in time
and it could be

leather pants,
red lips,
black fingernails.

Returning to the dark,
it overtakes her
and, once again,
she is dust.
