so thin
the scratches
on my back
shown through.
Bracelets
where my wrists were tied
with linen
from the laundry.
Earrings
On my swollen skin
so red and puffy tender.
Shoes
with dirt from
other lawns,
and laces left unknotted.
A Scarf
around my tiny neck
that smells like my perfume.
The Ring
you gave me years ago
inside our favorite restaurant.
Slipped on just minutes ago
while slipping out the door.
