A girl
Nuzzling into her mothers velvet coat
Catching her tears
As they darken the purple fibres
Tears
Never to greet the lines of her smile
Erased before salt waters
Nourish hungry pores
A girl
Waiting
For yellow grass on timeless lands
To weave an emerald blanket
Enticing rainbows
And spirited pilgrims
Who’ll loan their ears
To listen
A girl
Wishing her feet to swell
Grounding as choreographed storms
Dance hand in hers to sweep across the empty floor
Forceful swirls captivate unwillingly
A girl
Tamed
As imposed words are stitched upon her tongue
Good girl
Nice girl
Syrup oozing from the rope burns
Angels who’ve hounded her pleasant ways
Beckoning
For veracity to bellow freely from her skeletal cave
Snapping threads
And carving stories
Her stories
A girl
Nuzzling into her mothers velvet coat
Inhaling familiarity
And buried truths
Of generations before her
Pulsating through her veins
Liquid addictions
And mercury fillings
Tolerating the rotten saliva moistening repression
And all the while
Roots plagued with hereditary decay
A girl
Playing woman
Her limbs alluring wandering eyes
Desired
Like diamond stars guiding the hungry miner
Chiselling
His brow sweating above hers
Her skin coated in brine
And cloudy resin tightly sealing her lips
Well done
You play woman so well
A girl
Nuzzling into her mothers velvet coat
Catching her tears
Until all life has bled from her ducts
And remnants of rose perfume
Muffles the punches
Again
And again
And again
