Fall 2013 - Vol. 10, Issue 4
"Twister"
written by
Abby Ridderhoff
You were a twister
Uprooting the sanity
Of a pristine little girl
You ripped the daisies
From her hair, and gave
Her instead a mirror, and
taught her to use it how
It never should have been
Used, to tear the
Reflection limb
From sorry limb
Until there was
Nothing but an
Empty husk of
The beauty that used
To inhabit every crevice
Of that sad, sad
Place.
