She doesn't
By Jessica Orr
She doesn't sleep,
televisions look hard;
decisions encompass
slight light
in an arced room.
She doesn't know it's clear,
as babies are born
to windmills they turn;
many days they pass
within shadow play;
how many times,
on how many streets
a repetition did begin?
She doesn't understand
why it hurts to see
visions perfectly
and they go away;
Lady Macbeth washes
my fright,
a secret is multiplied
and its teeth look hard.
She's sometimes...
It's not important;
merely known
is the way to go now.
She is perfect if eyes shut,
and darkness falls quickly
and it eats the light
and sounds are liked
in knowing
love is hard.
