the dust on her shoulder. crouching hard against an attitude undone. pleasure
austere. so fucking jane eyre. her angry affections. starting at the end to
get to the beginning.
hatefully charming. hopelessly benign.
the eyelash on her glasses. it looks at her. the no in her stare. swallows
us.
the owl in the belfry. the mouse in the grass, all but caught. starting at
the end to find where we begin.
truth is humid. hate is a dry heat.
such a deep tarnish. i'd never have known what it was made of had you not
labelled it.
the pretty cow. the ugly kitten.
they don't sleep anymore, but they talk sometimes at night when the moon is
too strong. when everything is asleep except for the stars. and i always hear
them saying that it's true. the last thing in the world you want to be is beautiful.
