They Thought She would

by Maple Tree   Apr 5, 2017


But she didn't.....

Failed written upon her forehead
bore more weight than her soul could carry...

She kept walking even after
they buried her.

A pure rush of electricity
laced with stale beer
was all she needed...

that and the moon;
which she protected
safely inside her denim pocket.

They didn't know she was magical
and back then;

neither did she...

    The introduction to this was stunning and engaging and Maple Tree told us such a lovely, hopeful story in so few words. Everything about this was so spot on and creative. Personally, I felt like I could take on the world any time I read this, if the need arose. So many interesting techniques were used in this piece and every piece of it captivated me.

    Andrea- this is absolutely gorgeous! Short and sad yet so powerful...

    Those last few lines...I am covered in chills.

    I would nominate if I could-truly remarkable and beautiful write!
