she looked up with despairing eyes
up to the stars in the black skies
she thought of all the lost smiles
a smile for every star
maybe more
all washed down the river
the river to the earth
where she now stands
a mere foot tall
no longer high enough
to keep her head in the clouds
the clouds that block the sun
the sun that darkens the skin
the now pale skin that makes her look sick
one after another
the stars blink out
not because the sun has risen
but because of the cool blade
that slices the pale skin
the river flows
flows into the earth
the earth torn apart
making room for the corpse
under a starless night
everything calm
everything quiet
everything gone
