Synopsis

A cozy home is deemed imperfect by the tyrannical hands of perfectionism giving the home a thorough, menacing white-glove check.

The Poem

This poem is one of the first in Ending the War On My Body, setting up a sinister fairy tale. Once upon a time, a great tyrant scrubbed the earth until it was a perfect empty void.
