Pencil thin skimpy black second skin
brassy zipper neck to thigh
raven hair alabaster face
rucksack leering skull
diamante cheeks ruby eyes
plastic chair uneven ground
fingers fly active interface
eyes dart screen road back
darkness creeps silent vehicle
hard voice orders snapped
door slams empty space
tomorrow begin again.
