Odette

Swinging shadows and death’s decree.

Bound together are love and hate

eternally .

Beware the head that turns

when ghosts appear.

Joy is a bird.

For all coins are circles,

and circles, a loop

presented to you.

You have no choice.

One is bound to the other.

The head turns.

The circle loops.

The bind tightens.

The neck snaps.

The spirit drowns.

Swinging shadows.

Eternally bound.

Coup. Coup. Coup.

– Cassandra
