so beautiful
i wonder if it would be ok with you for me to use it as the preview image for my poem...
womanpicking words like scabs
leaving scars that hide behind old freckles
she wears past lovers like ill-fitting clothing
wrapped awkwardly around a body grown cold to the touch
her outstretched arms always just out of reach
beneath a thick fog of apathy
but sometimes, when she's not paying attention, her footsteps trip into a dance
and sometimes, when she forgets herself, a child's smile alights upon the corners of her mouth
which shade will open the watercolors drawn beneath your closed eyelids?
which note will release the song that screams silently in your throat?
