Notches in her spine,
bruised hard and in between.
Her sharp red hair,
torn from the root and in clumps around your feet.
Blood pooling in your mouth,
the drops look different on your sheets than they do on her skin.
Fluttering doves on the windowsill,
afternoon sunlight and pressed flowers in books you know belonged to him.
Charcoal smudges darker than shadow,
along the crease in your thigh and her shattered scapula.
Papercuts line the soles of her feet,
and his teeth swallow you whole.
