Kate, Scene Two
dmartin

The second in a sequence of poems...

Mayhem spilled a violent pink to a canvas,
 1
the favorite color of Kate,
 2
shattered from perfection
 3
as the wind spit fury through her world
 4
she found herself standing in the intersection,
 5
another piece of traffic lacking all direction.
 6
 
 
With malice in her breathing,
 7
Kate could never see herself ten years down the road,
 8
the way the only similar sight
 9
was her reflection in the window
 10
if the darkness caught it right,
 11
but she never knew the night.
 12
 
 
One day, she'll stay up late
 13
and the faces of simple Kate
 14
will write the wrongs of her past
 15
and paint herself a red carpet
 16
away from the stones she has cast.
 17
She'll cope with growing up too fast...
 18
 
 
Roll film.
