Beneath a scar-lit sky of amethyst
Lite-Brite's successor
Jewels in the shape
Of dreams mounted
To moon-speckled parchment
Then abandoned
•♾•
Her locks, a garnet slash
Against this gown of unforgiving white
The labyrinth of naïveté, each twig like
Your limbs that once kept her pinned
To these beloved hills
Their flesh now stripped, hands calcified to stone
Still reaching, taking
From within the hedge's depth
•♾•
Consumed by its hostile leaves
Here, she will remain
If only to whisper
Run, swift as you can
At the next wide-eyed doe
Caught in crosshairs of ruby
