Every morning, a new magnum opus greets me
& I am so awake
& my parents don’t have to worry.

For I once lost
Myself, trapped in
Society’s idea of perfection

a few centuries after death,
when they dig out my skeleton -

sleep soundly, as the warmness blankets you...
these chilling, dark nights freeze hope to despair

of the evil, shape-shifting
spirit hovering
too nearly
outside my window.

its final petal ready
to drop: a six year old
child falls asleep, dreams
of six petals wrapped
around her
