Don't Let Them In

Don’t let them in
I am too tired
To hold myself carefully
And wink when they circle the fact
That I’m trapped in this body
Don’t let them in
I have violent dreams
About that couple
In an alternate ribbon of time
My dances were sacred
And my lisp was evidence
That I spoke for both spirits
Don’t let them in
They’re well intended
But each comment
Rattles some deep
Ancient queen
