I'm trying on new lives,
old clothes,
and nothing seems to fit...
I escaped into the crimson
dress,
the one with my matching crimson
lips,
and found it all full
of ghosts.
If I had been a lover
then
I would have devoured them
all,
but I was just a little girl,
with pretty little curls -
so much better
being small.

And the boys kissed
my thin neck,
and the girl cried
beautiful,  drowning tears...

Gasping gently,
drowning always,
I'm trying on my ghosts.
