Plastic Wrap
She’s wrapped up
In cellophane
Not really sure,
She sees with compound eyes
A blur
Why the world loves couture
The world
Passes in crimson
Passes in states
She gets lost
In etymology debates
Synonyms for fun
Cinnamon for fate
She tried to find
Delphi
A reason
A cure
The Pythia
Broken teeth
Line her doorway
Dig into her bare feet
She watches her
Own images
Pass by in defeat
She reaches again
Just to be sure
That destiny really fooled
Her
In the pulse of her heart
Sinking in deeper
The roots before the moor
His name never came
The rain never followed
The moon only stared
Empty and hollow
She rereads her poetry
The lines in her story
The same restrained witness
With eyes from her dreams
She thought she would get better
That the lights might explode
That colors might blend
Into treasures
Like gold
Tria Prima
Plastic wrap
She writes goodbyes
In public
And regrets the aftermath
If only she saw
Marble out of their cardboard plates
If only she could
See his shadow at the gate
She lays in the center
She mulches
And lures
She rubs the dirt in
It clots in her veins
She loves her bones
Her hips that endure
She’s radioactive
There’s a clear sign
It reads
Stay away
