her head hurts
and today the words
are stuck in her throat
she wants to pull the blanket over her head
and just
give up?
she has to get up
there are people waiting for her at work
she has to get up
and call her mother
reassure her everything is ok
she should get up
and face the world
sometimes
she thinks to herself
i wish I could become a falling star
and be heartless
i want to just live
for those few desperate moments
before I fall
she tells him this
in the early hours of the morning
when the dew drips grey and the rotted leaves blow raspy and quiet across the cement
he rakes her soul with his eyes
and asks her
but what happens if someone catches you?
then I guess
I would belong to them
