A Single Step

Folder: 
closet boxes 2002

The cry was silent

caught deep withing her throat

preventing words

stopping up her fear

the anguish and sorrow

not betrayed by her thoughts

only by tears-

glittering on the edges of her eyes

and she stands still

an action portraying demise.



One breath

a single step

even just one thought

pulling her down

announcing defeat.
