she sits in silence with sadness
seeped deeply into a dark corner of her eyes-
lingering from long ago
peeking out like a lurking shadow
barely noticeable but ever-present
a stain that sticks
toiling to stay despite
numerous washes
cleansed once more
she stands with a soul-saving screech
until all of the creatures have gone
she sits in silence in a swimsuit
feet seeped deeply into the sand
lingering in her toes
peeking out
still are her woes
weakened now
by sun
the stain faded,
worn through
she traces the light
with her pinky toe
