She’s disjointed
Shattered
Gaunt and sunken
A cubist
A Picasso
Unable to eat
Fearing life
Broken and abused
Looking
But not finding
A crow’s broken wing
A bleeding arrowhead
Sickly and staunch
She buries herself
In the past
Her gravestone
Prematurely inscribed:
Lost in the web
Of starvation
And sorrow.
