Still Scene (still seen)

of_the_girl

A heavy head
rests in a bed
of soft brown
so pretty and light
upon her
pillow

A grey tear slides
down a peach-soft cheek
salty clarity
mixed with make-up
leaving a trail of honesty
down her face

Her eyes are closed
softly and
yet she can see
all of what's around her
it's nothing at all

Hug your teddy
little girl
and wait for the morning
Hug him tight
and beware of all
the bad dreams...
