Curious Hands

By Magdalena



She pulled off his wings 
and looked on 
fascinated 
by his struggle 


then she took his legs 
with innocent hands
turning her back
on his last breath


he was already forgotten
by the time she went outside
to taste the ashes
and dig up worms

    Am I wrong in seeing a reversed reflection in this work?
