excerpt from the book i’ll never write
January 14, 2015
her eyes are closed tightly
the charcoal ribbons
have bound her body,
clenched and skintight.
knots of ebony hair,
roughened coat of silver sharpness,
a heart of burdensome stone.
the growl of depression
screeches beneath her screen
the markings of clawed
at skin scrape away
at the inexperienced flesh
