mothers
defiance
daughters fallen
bleeding on blades and razors
petals
dresses
blood stains
in the snow
bruised,
in the woods
the truth of her body
savaged by wild flies
a runaway
the girl from the tower
the ***
the money
the drugs
away from her ghosts
into the dark,
her master’s dungeon
"sorry Mum!"
