eiris was still

like the remnants of melted ice

nobody likes that kind of water

it feels dirty 

and grey

if smoke and dull stones met

but she was in a decorated goblet


she was a violin solo

an infinitesimal explosion

she was the bow

and julian the violin

his heartstrings making uncanny tunes


she was lovely

so pretty and so cruel

with a sharp mind and a sharp blade

or was her mind her blade?


one can be born with dysfunctional body parts

or with dysfunctional families

but eiris,

eiris was born with a dysfunctional mind

there was no reason

she     just    was


but blades(minds) too have to be sharpened

every time she smiled, winked and breathed in front of jules,

she sharpened her blade


it is really not that hard,

sharpening blades of deceit

lie, smile, lie and repeat
