fell
When the sun came in through the window, she opened her eyes and fell through the sunbeams. She fell through the floor and was left with gashes She fell through the tangle of twinkling lights Fell through the wrapping paper and tape Fell through the bows and stockings Tore through the ribbon and was left with gashes Fell through the stories of pain she heard Fell through her own pain and stopped to check her bleeding gashes She knew she couldn't fall any further. She was buried and bleeding Until she got up and flew through the pain Flew up through the bloody mess of paper Ribbon and lights left behind Stockings and bows left bloody She flew Up from her bed to grab at the sunbeams Bright and cold Sunbeams that fell on her gashes, pulling them shut Sunbeams fell on her face Fell on her naked breasts and blood-stained hair Fell onto her soul to lay her pain to sleep She was awake again and ready. Ready to just be. Dancing the day away until again she fell Fell asleep.
