when she's 18 she braags.
Daddy broke her down like a puzzle
and she leans all her pieces
against Wesley
whenever he stands still.
She writes on his hand,
property of, in felt tip pen,
which he shows me days later.
I avoid her eyes
as we pass each other in the ward.
She wears midnight like a cape.
Her face is a kaleidoscope of shadows.
