Lolita

Freckled faced
Hair in braids
Innocent twit
Dolores Haze

But Lolita was never my name

and tennis was never my game.

nymphet
daughter
lover
whore.

I don’t want to be your girl anymore

Someday
I’m going to run away
I know I’ll escape you
someday.

And you’ll hunt me down
like a broke-down hound
But I’ll disappear without a trace.

And you’ll die of obsession
praising my name…

LOLITA
Your sweet, Dolores Haze

Innocent twit
Dolores Haze

Ask me
Beg me
To come back someday

pale and changed
pregnant and plain
yours truly,
Dottie Haze

I am going to escape you someday.
