A woman of little luxuries
tiny burns scar up into shiny designs
A little casket of minced herbs
forgets her nightmares or
how it's been
since she remembered one.
A baby penknife and a runny pen
make skin into deep, fleshed over reminders
Woman of little creativities
adding curly suffixes to curses
adding children's jewelry to her her collarbone
at once specked glow-white and tan.
