Heavy
like a chest
A single tear
Just a hand
cupping a mouth
catching the fear
At night
she likes to run
It’s the moon
Heavy
like the universe
she’s alone
Just a sweat
dripping down her back
pooling and then gone
A savage girl
her wild auburn hair
twirling and then gone

Heavy
like a chest
A single tear
Just a hand
cupping a mouth
catching the fear
At night
she likes to run
It’s the moon
Heavy
like the universe
she’s alone
Just a sweat
dripping down her back
pooling and then gone
A savage girl
her wild auburn hair
twirling and then gone
