A wise girl kisses but doesn’t love, listens but doesn’t believe, and leaves before she is left. ~~Marilyn Monroe
Why
did she take
the paper flowers
and the huge golden butterfly
inhabiting her head
(along with the stuffed
bird
in her ribcage)
and without saying a word
lay them out
on the wooden
floor?~Nikos Engonopoulas. from the Poem: Aubade.
