in your dress with the pockets. hands in your pockets. nothing in your pockets. there's blood on your face.
where are your shoes? my favourite shoes. you don't have any shoes. are those dried tears on your cheeks?
your mascara has run, why didn't you run? you tried to run. there's dirt in your hair.
your purse has gone. your necklace has gone. the darkness has gone. it's still in your mind.
come closer to me. get warmer with me. come home with me. i will make you some eggs.
You're a terrific writer. I wish I knew your actual name. If I edited a journal I'd ask you for work.
