Child

A child
the red satin dress, the aggressive eyes, and the wind
a child cried.

This child walked
Behind her was a possessive sunset and scarlet clouds
this child walked along the evening.

Was this child a walking heart?
Could she be broken?

The child reigned
and then it rained, her dress turned amber, her eyes were neglected
the child kneeled

That child begged
her amber dress, now a pale white
she held my hand.
