She stared at the wall
As if her thoughts were
Being written on the white skin
Of the front of its pattern
As the dolls to the far right
Just above her motherÕs dresser
Held their hands together until the night of Madison.

She wore her mothers dress,
The one with the strapless back,
White shoulder straps thinly overlapping her delicate skin.

Her white, pearl earrings
Stood like rubies on the ballroom of the sea
Bottomless but pierced into her
As though the studs on the back
Understood the intricacies of her skin.

Her memories came and gone
The walls didnÕt seem to mind, nor care
For her tears of the yesteryear, of tomorrow
Seemed to sit with her
Until her father sat alongside her,
Quietly rubbing her left shoulder,
Her left cheek,
Until her head cradled into his chest,

Her motherÕs voice tightly vested to the beats of her breath.

This is a vivid moment in still life to be sure.
Kind of bittersweet, yet very beautiful.
