stained teeth but still smiling
warm feathers held up by tiles
walking quickly carrying supplies
is this memory
pure light
I saw her frozen still radiating
every step away moves closer
slipping on dirt
queasy teardrop investigation
a hole in the mind
just laugh, it’s ok. just laugh
she blinked and the wind from her eyelashes cooled my face
I inhale her name
the door opened and the light pink fragrance painted every wall.
every synapse
I talk to her with my eyes closed in silence.
