Balloon Girl

I finally found the link for 1

dreams when tabs dissolve and 2

I'm caught with no hope of release3

as I dally backstage with an Asian4

boy whose dead eyes and smiles remind5

me of disease.6

I stood there bare chested, choked and tethered7

square; rosewood beads clamped between my 8

gnashing teeth.9

I covered myself when you passed--10

this is not who I am.11

I flinched away, cold sweat on my 12

neck and back as the Sick One whispered 13

slithering promises and lies in my ear.14

He took me to your hotel room,15

I slept in your bed - you never came.16

I found myself in a sundress, warm17

sunlight on my face and arms,18

I wrecked my hot-air balloon in19

your backyard--20

Like it was an accident.21

Your bodyguard was kind and as22

I inspected your old cars, he looked23

for a patch.24

I waited for you to notice me.25

    You are totally the queen of abstractism or whatever. It's cool how you can take a bunch of jumbled up thoughts and make something out of it. Awesomeness as always, hope you feel better soon!
