pisces.



in an epoch when
she is imprisoned under ice
radiance washes over her from
a leaden and silent expanse above
hair pouring outward
framing a pallid expression
no longer composed
of resistance and fear of flight
her life of faint sketches on pages
fingerprints near the exits
the collapsing words
of unwritten memoirs
dissipating into murky green
