Tie me up
with a bright red bow.
Go and tell them all
how much I did not know.
Place pebbles on my lids,
with bright blue eyes to stare.
Find and reveal my children
in galaxies of dreams I could not bear.
Wrap my blue body, tight,
for the red fire to burn.
Put me in the heat, white,
so I can finally take my turn.
But, please remember...
...cover my wrists;
just knot silk around them; red with ties.
...cover my scars
so no one may
know
I wanted to die.
