cawing of birds

That girl

that no one once saw

shivering

shaking

shy

hiding in her younger brother's clothes

trying

seeing that maybe maybe maybe

maybe they wouldn't notice her shallow

skeleton

like a key to a lock that would always break

she was that silly young musician to our ears

bleeding

like the cawing of birds

hungry

the way she would starve herself

nights & nights again

she wanted to die.
