Broken on the ground

she lies naked,

stripped

 

like water by wind,

like glass that can't mend,

yet desperate eyes search --

 

to her left

there is no one,

to her right

only him

 

who left blood on her thighs,

lightning raping the sky,

as the night is stained darker

and the night is inside

 

so she lies

silent,

stripped.
