Brenda F. McMillan

She


into daylight

                 she fell

she soul open to secrets

she    self    scattered

and no one

no fingers
no arms
no muscled torso
no full brown bosom

no one

gathered she
stroked she
pieced she puzzle

and she suffocated
on some curb
in some city
hospital
apartment
alone.
