In the Mirror
March 10, 2012
The girl clamps the stray hairs down.
A wall of platinum blond surrounds her head,
with only the roots black.
They’re all so happy. They’ll be happy with her, too.
She tries to smile at the mirror.
Her skin is so pale, a few more sunless days and it will be almost colorless,
white.
