Amber Silas Mar 2022
A small girl with braids steals snapshots out a squoval window
Every soul, each object in the long cabin
is overcast with a sheen of sleepy,
jet fueled jet lag
But daylight, pure and natural
shines through on the small wanderer, basting her in possibility

The plane interior is pale, cool gray
with sky blue accents
Matching this, the child-woman wears comfy, muted 3 day sweats {luggage lost}
and the snow capped Rockies she gazes upon tie it all together:
Silvers, grays, whites, and
A Touch of the Blues

She'll get somewhere soon
but for now she'll just
be
Abbie Affleck Feb 2019
Your hands make me sad
Squoval tips bitten and red
I stare as bones dance
Beneath cracked broken skin
Nails bleed
Because you like the pain
Clasp your hand in mine
Don’t do it again

— The End —
