Malice In Wonderland (edited) (Free verse) by Caducus
When Alice grew up
she fell through darkness
searching for Wonderland.
Trembling she saw her life mirrored
in a sea of scolding tea.
Vessels of her childhood fell
Landing as a wreck
Next to a dead white rabbit
by its broken clock-watch.
The Cheshire cat appeared
Grinning with decayed teeth
At children garrotted by ribbons
choking as they fell with Alice.
The Queen of hearts waited for her to land
stripped Alice naked,
watched her guilt rape seeded skin
Then ripped her heart out,
watching its last beat
fade with her blue eyes
as death cards chanted
'long live the Queen'.
