Down in silence
Holding onto hollow
Savior unstrung and dumb.
Why do I keep thinking?
Let me have this.
All the hidden lilies in our yard.
I remember waking up in a sweat,
Pearlesque gleaming
Being pulled like teeth.
I can see faint colors reflecting back at me
As I stare down at my hand
My birthstone, the one my anya told me was mine.
Mute, I see her dark eyes
Heavy snow, let me apply pressure now.
Flowers of the abyss,
Keeping out all the light
I hide from my mom.
