a girl of twenty years
old with wishes and worries
that weigh upon her skeleton
hunched and crumpled down
like a regretful, bumbling humpback
knowing what she has done
and where in the world she has been
she finds this current place dull
her skinny, fine fingers beg to write
a passionate word to be published
and her dreams even smell like fresh laundry
sitting in heat, wanting to be folded
and put away
in the place
where they belong
