no turn of the screw
straight ahead i could catch
the briefest glimpse of you
wearing your favorite red
it wasn't only what you said
that turned me blue
so what had i heard
when you flashed me a smile?
i tried to hear each word
running on fertile ground
it wasn't only what i found
that seemed absurd
you gave me that look
and a toss of your hair
but something else you took
meant more to me than life
i felt the stinging of your knife
closing our book.
