Midnight - Mess

[crusoe]

Don't disturb the moth, don't upset the Fly.
Let the roach crawl in peace.
I raise my glass,
the one with fingerprints of all my years.

Candles, bring more candles
to lighten up this Midnight-Mess.
Is there still Water in the Tub ?
Heat it on the Hearth and
brew me something sweet,
to wrap around my icy heart.
Beware of pages drowned in wax
and go to bed, my Dear.

You and Miyako must live in the same haunted building, or drink the same sweet stuff.

I like some of the things implied here, like taking old bathwater out of the tub and reheating it-deliciously contributes to the tone of this, as is the unwashed glass.

You say a lot in this without saying it directly.
