reflection

Reflection


She is quiet

as a cowering child

hiccupping waves

creeping in to her eyes.

A new dawn and the sky opens up for her

but she is blind.

She cannot see.


She is beauty

like a Montana mountain

strong and steady

cold on the top

burning inside.

And she can’t see it.


She is walking in the snow

and she cannot remember

were it is she left her boots

crest fallen seagull swoons along side

of her

speaking to her

remembering July

during brighter skies

when her eyes

could see.
