Parched Storm
May 20, 2013
I evaporated.
shaking hands and knees and hoarse throats
swollen eyes and scarred fingers
condensed.
cotton candy clouds
were spun like brittle pink sugar;
my embroidered dreams had snapped.
steel anger melted
into a veil of shame and pain.
I stood on soaked paper stilts, willing them to
collapse,
cradling the remnants of my identity
in my clenched fists.
