Missing Pieces
by Ximena Escobar
And suddenly
all that was left
was the ice cold exposure
in the hollow
of my broken self
I only wanted to show you
each fragment
every side
every angle, all those
pieces of me,
the shiny minerals,
hidden in my bones
I never felt colder
than in the shadow
of your blindness,
sat beside
my plaster cast ruins,
ruins of nothing
but an empty exterior
so untrue
so unloved, I had long
evicted
my body
for there
