Lost Girls


Dedicated to all of the women lost to eating disorders, trauma, and depression. 

Lost Girls

We will always wait for you
arms outstretched
fingers reaching
wanting, hoping
the air pulsating, 
throbbing 
our hearts heavy

Plum, orchid, periwinkle
waiting, dripping, bleeding
Unable to lift the weight of your head
away from your neck

Your chin rests against your heart
steady thrumming
like a kitten
you purr

Humming breath

your pulse racing ahead of your words
Breathe, Breathe,
please, breathe

Flashes of you ...

laughing, smiling,
pleading, crying

We are here now 

to keep you safe
our bodies filled with your voice

we will speak...
