It's been a year.

And still, nothing has changed

How can it seem

That she's back

At the very place she started

Here

Alone on this grass

With a look that would seem pretentious

But

She was always far too beautiful for that

Now

Instead

Some tragic marvel she must seem

Under the sun

Book in her lap

Speaking to no one except

The voices in her mind

That write poetry from each sensation that ebbs

To and from

Her unwavering restless mind

She hopes no one will see her

That she'll blend into the crowds of laughing friends

And blades of grass

But she reeks of a mystery everyone had hoped to find out

So naturally

She is under a magnifying glass

That everyone just seems to be

Dying

To look through

It's been a year.

Everything has changed.
