Splinter
The face in the mirror strange.
Wax lips curling hopeful not her lips nor the eyes her eyes. She is peeling away from the vessel, slipping out of the skin. Isn’t it curious the body below watching the face in the glass? How she smiles at the stranger then splinters into shards? So easy to splinter and fly away. Now she is a sparrow, small and brown, scratching at broken pieces, a spider on the ceiling ravenous, many legged, a goat scrabbling up and up chinks in the wall. Broken, ravenous, scrabbling she collects the shards and swallows them. It hardly hurts at all. |
