"We know what we are, but not what we may be" - Shakespeare




 



 



a nervous voice 



of stutters stammering,



a mouth that



revealed too little 



and showed not enough of



the wild flowers



 growing beyond 



the soil of her white 



pearl teeth. 



A red smirk of 



destruction carves



 his name 



deeply into the 



bark of her skin. 



Dark girl,



inside of her 



peach skin. 



Dark like 



night and 



thunderstorms that



 screech 



down disappearing 



streets.



These are the



 shadows that swell,



that squirm 



and pounce



like his hands



 tracing the 



blueprint of her body. 



Windows darken



 into charcoal



 drawings as she



 passes by 



with clouded 



Carmel eyes and 



a numbness 



screaming throughout



 her limbs.
