“Untitled” by Marianne Murdock
i’m trying to find someone as broken as i
as depleted
as ugly
as grief-stricken
as lost
i see beauty
i see light
i see controlled light – my favorite
i see hair
silky, almost parted down the middle, brown hair
and i think …
that used to be me
i see a horse sculpture and it captivates me
i yearn for what you have
