sunshine

cut

through her like glass

she bled
into the night onto the grass

her blood
mixing with the dirt
hardened
forming red brown odd shaped crustations

the next day

she arose
from the ashes of her former self

like the bird

the phoenix
was it?

she was transparent
now
of glass

translucent even

bleeding light sometimes

and if you looked close enough
you might catch a glimpse of her smoking heart

spell binding, enchanting, heart rendring... use every possible adjective here and it still won't be judicious enough...

this poem reminds me of something i read once..

what was it..

"like bits of a shattered rainbow"
Its from a play called the glass menagerie.. and its in refernce to glass.. through glass, everything seems so elusive, so transparent yet so distorted.. (no that bit wasnt in the play.. thats just me rambling on..heh)
