The past frightens me
For I once lost
Myself, trapped in
Society’s idea of perfection

I am a witness.
of the evil, shape-shifting
spirit hovering
too nearly
outside my window.

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