YOUNG GIRL'S VISION

Amarantha Françoise Dyuaaxchs


Death holds a lighted candle.
She is grey
And her wings are thin and long and feathered
Like a sea gull's.
She puts her hands on my quilt, leaning over my bed.
Her breath is icy.
I push hair and sweat back from my face.
I sit up.
Death crawls closer to me. Her flickering candle
Has a halo.
I clutch my heavy bed covers to my thin chest.
She has
A face of planes, and discarded rags for clothes.
She touches my hand.
