knuckles and necklaces





She has hair that screams a thousand whispers
and knees that could impress an audience
A necklace that chokes beauty from her eyes
and socks that can conduct static from lightning bolts.


She remembers and chews her nails.
She paints her nails to prevent it but
she chews the polish,
and then she chews her nails.


Her hair lays flat, worn from the whispers
and she removes her necklace
to expose a soul that was broken by the world.

    Wow, you made ordinary things beautiful.
    It was so vague, but in the artistic way that is really really impressive... Love this.
    Thanks
