Words scatter in my mind and I get this image of a girl. White dress. Beauty curls her hair for her and the sun shines her sidewalk. But the sidewalk wants to eat her. Take her white dress as a condiment and her beauty as a side dish. She crosses a crack Feels it open beneath her feet, but precious to her mother, she leaps. A back is safe, A girl stays beautiful, And a sidewalk starves.

Words scatter in my mind and I get this image of a girl. White dress. Beauty curls her hair for her and the sun shines her sidewalk. But the sidewalk wants to eat her. Take her white dress as a condiment and her beauty as a side dish. She crosses a crack Feels it open beneath her feet, but precious to her mother, she leaps. A back is safe, A girl stays beautiful, And a sidewalk starves.
