my heart's agony in ink,
words that flow

to be a writer of heart-wrenching prose,
but the pain that I carried within
was too great to keep enclosed.”

“Tears sprang to my eyes. I blinked them back, grabbed some tissue, and started awkwardly trying to daub leftover dye into my pale eyebrows, praying it would make a difference.
Through the mirror, I saw Tori walk in. She stopped. "Oh. My. God."
It would have been better if she'd laughed. Her look of horror, then something like sympathy, meant it was as bad as I thought.

"Hey," Simon called in. "Everyone decent?"
He pushed open the door, saw me and blinked.
"It's Derek's fault," Tori said. "He—"
"Don't, please," I said. "No more fighting."
Simon still shot a glare over his shoulder as Derek pushed open the door.
"What?" Derek said. He looked at me. "Huh."
Tori hustled me out the door, brushing past the guys with a whispered "jerk" for Derek.
"At least now you know never to go dark again," she said as we walked. "A couple years ago, I let a friend dye mine blond. It was almost as bad. My hair felt like straw and..."
And so, Tori and I bonded over hair horror stories.”

“Tears
The first woman who ever wept
was appalled at what stung
her eyes and ran down her cheeks.
Saltwater. Seawater.
How was it possible?
Hadn't she and the man
spent many days moving
upland to where the grass
flourished, where the stream
quenched their thirst with sweet water?
How could she have carried these sea drops
as if they were precious seeds;
where could she have stowed them?
She looked at the watchful gazelles
and the heavy-lidded frogs;
she looked at glass-eyed birds
and nervous, black-eyed mice.
None of them wept, not even the fish
that dripped in her hands when she caught them.
Not even the man. Only she
carried the sea inside her body.”
