Wearing cologne as a spittle
She cannot dissolve
Into the milky night –
(Lit eyes, chapped lips
Or, maybe
Gentle lips and torn eyes?)
;
She roams her way into
The night, the night
That cannot – that, she knows –
Hide from herself
Her hideousness –
;
But she’s there, still
Moving silently
Towards monsters…
And the sighing night
Grows apart, em-
Bracing her, as she’s moving
Still, towards –
Herself.
