The Erl King Flashcards
he is an excellent
housewife
these vertical bars of a
brass-coloured distillation of light
you step
there was
the perfect transparency
is impenetrable
erl king will
do you grievous harm
you sink your teeth
in to my throat
white, monstrous teeth
with spittle gleaming on them
he showed me
he told me
it is only because he is kind to me
that i do not still fall further
the trees stir with
a noise like taffeta skirts
the stark elders
have an anorexic look
eyes as green as apples
as green as dead sea fruit
if i look in to it long enough
i will become as small as my own reflection
your green eye is
a reducing chamber
some eyes can
eat you
mother, mother
you have murdered me
tender
butcher
his touch consoles and
devastates me

Bloody Chamber
The lady of the house of love (blurred gender lines/ lines between character and their home, both loure in victims and use sex as a weapon, theme of entrapment)
