They styled my hair, painted makeup,
arrayed me in a crystal box.
I pretended to sleep, but
I was listening – yes,
I heard you. With that
mouth, you’d kiss me?
I can break
myself
out.

Ha! I love a damsel in distress that can take care of herself.
Whoa! What a clever take on the nonet! So much in so few words!
Oooh, this is lovely. I love the spunk of your speaker, and the way that you imply Snow White without ever having to state it. “With that mouth, you’d kiss me?” was especially effective. Great job!
This really brings together the things you do best: understated prose, solid allusions, and, well.. yeah ok fine, feministing. you do that ok 🙂
I like what saroful, said! Feministing Snow White, I think I will read this to my grand daughters.
Aww, this is the best comment!
