Tell me,
Do you see in her
what I see as well?

Are there maggots crawling
through her scalp,
white worms in braided tresses?

Tell me, does she run from you?
Opal in her hand
Watched by moon
and little else
As children, painted black and white
dance merrily in the rain

Tell me, are her teeth all rotten,
blackened? Broken? Bruised?
Do tears emerge as crimson tide,
stemming from her heart?

Tell me, are her eyes stained black
beneath a darkened lid?
Do shaking hands crack fragile glass?
Dear swan that lost its way

Tell me, do you see
in her eyes
what I see with mine?

Reflected, born of broken mirror

I watch her
Standing,
Alone and unmarked in
The room
In which she died
Last night.



and he said "little blackbird, take this letter to her"
