rested, sealed in a cloud.
through the panes of my reflection,
she lay still. preserved,
at a point in time.
carefully, it was made
a heaven for her,
black, against the snow,
a delicate frame.
freedom, hers was sought
in a vain attempt,
too easily, given up,
it left a desperate mark.
made to cut her loose
unnoticed, beneath her.
her eyes looked forward,
unrelenting, yet absent.
my gift remains pristine.
faded, her elytra
are pale and sickening.
yellowed, they conceal
many writhing guests.
unmoving, she remains,
but a stranger to life.
a gift, she is,
rotting from the inside.
