Frozen against the pale moon sky,
the ravens warned us with chilling
caws of the dangers the night held.

Cuddled together beneath their
beating wings, our body warmth
spread through the bitter night.

Hands starving for attention,
we lace them together, numb
and full of tingling needles.

Breath clouding the air
between us, we inhale
each other in icy frenzy.

Stars eavesdrop in
a frigid sky, begging
to know our secrets.

Little voices exchanged secrets
above a jade moss lake, sticks
pried rocks from the sinking
floor to reveal a school of
minnows, water murky
enough to distort our
reflections into pale
blurs with three
black holes.

Cool shade
of willow trees
kept the sun hidden
from view as the bugs
fed off the blood of our
skinny arms and legs, but
we didn't mind their nuisance,
young and carefree as we pushed
back against a world that silenced us.

Beneath the mask, her eyes
hold a devious secret, laced
hand clutched close to her
chest and a storm of doubt
in the background.

Anonymity had become her
weapon, hiding the mysteries
of her past, which weighed
her down like heavy cloth
of blackened frills.

Hard white plastic promised
protection from the strangers
pacing the alleyways of her
memories and made them
fade into the void.
