I believed my fingers were his
Tiny twigs
Blades of grass
Blades
I believed his shirt was mine
Dye and thread on back of trunk
Golden ring on palm of twig
I made a song that would be ours
But he didn't even sharpen his knives
He may or may not have had my fingers
He could have stabbed me, had he looked

A school assignment, inspired by Emily Dickinson (although I am under no delusions regarding my skills in comparison to hers).
