Warp.

Blue petal skin folding inward

A shivering self embrace

Trembling shoulders

and small cool notches

Freckled spine lingering

Beneath pale raised rivets

Scarlet fingernails rest for now

Having clawed at the neck

Never quite comfortable with how

She's gotten bone deep

Unreachable

Asleep

Tucked within the marrow

Hibernating

Perhaps until spring
