September 26, 2009

she had the eyes of her father and the heart of her mother.


she just threw all her memories up in the air.
while waiting for them to scatter,
she tied ribbons in her hair.
she shares her bed with strangers,
or so i've been told.
she said that over these many years, her body has withered, grown too cold.
far too frigid to spend the night alone,
she rested her hand in his,
weeping as his grip slowly crushed her bones.
