The Best Poem Of Aleksandra Spaseska

Cuddly Caged

Counting cries
curling, crawling

: comming cowardly
captured cunningly:

Clenched constantly
culprit, culprit!
clasped carelessly
craving, craving...

cometh caravans,
copper caped cages,
cometh caravans
contorted.

come, Cuddly,
climb closer.
come, Cuddly,
cry.
