The Little Things
September 23, 2015
black and blue, she's getting married
blow and blow, suffocating his lungs
dancing on dollhouse, no front teeth
meets a new grade, confidence gone
pretend tightrope walker, she nearly drowns
black spots sprouting, lying in casket
forty eight hours, long dark sleep.
