are they blind? are they oblivious to the screams and desires of that girl on Rosendo Lane? are they so arrogant & self-absorbed that they can’t tend to her bleeding wrists? do they not feel her blood drip upon their heads? do they not feel the tears that fall from the eyes of that girl on Rosendo Lane? that girl who’s voice is lower than the hum of hummingbird’s song that girl who smiles but underneath there’s a war a war that’s bigger than you and I and in the midst of that war is a girl picking blood covered daisies with an unfeigned smile laying upon her bright face that girl was once the girl that lives on Rosendo Lane that girl just waits for the war to be over she dodges knives and guns while her host cries and doesn’t have the willpower to let the knives and guns drop within her
