Ode To Bonnie Parker As Played By Faye Dunaway

Genevieve Blythe

Trapped animal in a cage, what a pretty sight. Pacing restlessly around with something more inside. An animal inside the animal. Confined to the limits of destiny, but which is it? Boredom, until death will you part. May you never be fulfilled because it is not possible in this life. 

You descend from one world into another. Bounding down the stairs, in love with a dying man and you have done everything you can. The only one with premonition, realizing it will never stop. There is no escaping God’s plan, nay, His punishment. There is a balance to these things. 

A waitress in a tight dress–look how I do this look how I got this. Something much bigger in store, if only you will take a bite of the apple. If only you will take a bite of him. He never lets the teeth sink in. Front page outlaw lover–look how I do this look how I got this.

Larger than life. Than you. Than him, than them, than it. Man makes plans and God laughs. Is it found in the final moment? Have you reached it in that final look? An ecstasy, a transference. You say what you never could in those dirty motel rooms with just the blink of an eye. 

Circumstance is shattered; longing won’t put the pieces back together again. You were meant for something greater and felt it like a burning from the beginning. What girl doesn’t want it all?

My darling, you don’t even know how we still speak your memory.
