Girl Thing~
I am not small
but I could fit into the center of your universe
if you're reaching for me
with an uncluttered mind
I am very good at going unnoticed
in a crowded room
as long as I am a lady
with eyes downcast
feigning excruciating interest
in the pattern of the tiles
a girl braced
against whispering souls
with prim demeanor
but, sometimes I forget to be invisible
and my damaged soul peeks
through a flutter of black eyelashes
killing everything
with these pernicious, these hallowed
jade and citron marbles
When I was two
Pan plucked my blue eyes from their sockets
hid them in a field of violets
where butterflies hovered
for a taste of final tears
and from his pocket he took a box
velvet lined and sewn with dark matter,
cradleing Pandora's eyes
I am invisible
until I open my eyes . . .
