"eyes that saw"

wide, innocent,
innocence?

I saw what she saw, too.

eyes ripped open,
black pupils straining to see in the
dim of night.

quiet now,
quiet

and she steadies her breathing.

fists splayed out,
open on the cool wood, basking in the
pale dimmed light.

Louder please, Louder!

while she moves her thoughts together.

graham cracker legs,
stand up against raw floor, finally to be
real, surrender, fight.
