She touched her leg that night
with the left scar alongside her thigh
with her eyes falling down towards the western wind
and the basic fall of her dress that gently tucked
under the forest of trees that became the soft right side
of wind; settled onto lips of tipped ice
in rows
crossing along the field
December.

Under her breath
she fell below the skies sadden suns eyes
so she touched her brothers hair
his wavy curls once young,

Beauty,
brunette hair,
polished off the skim of the cows white, seasoned fur
running just past her shoulder blades
sensual
such grace,
wind tripped over its draft

So she often came home
crying; her room wallowing
and a small boy couldn't understand
so she sat alone
while she faced the mirrors hardened tears.

Tomer, you paint sadness so deeply, sensitively and tremor-beautifully that it scrapes the marrow of the bones of your readers.

There are some whose pain and suffering merits a poem. This is one of those.
