She hides

In the shadows cast,

by her defined eyebrows,

puckered lips,

angled nose,

she hides.

In the darkness,

in the crevasses of her collarbones

the hallows of her hips

the ruins between her ribs

she hides.

A living skeleton.

Bones wrapped in tissue paper,

that tears as she stretches.

Insecurity breeds ignorance,

so she hides.
