Embroidery Poem by Imogen Knight

Embroidery



The fragments were scattered across her chest,
Lips dry and cut, on which she had once pressed,
Upon the poisonous cheek she had known,
Crimson ribboning down her wrist had shown

Her eyes concealed beneath the black lakes,
Head hurt from all the unspoken earthquakes,
Which always controlled her weak and pale frame,
And from her eyes, the dark waterfalls came

Bones of her body, that dimmed through the years,
Different looks influencing all her gears,
Device clutched, displaying an eerie glow,
Tattooed with bruises and tears, head to toe

Marks on her nails, biting at her skin,
Emptiness in eyes, childhood lost within,
Skeleton frays, embroidery neglected,
Fragments scattered, the ones she collected
