Maeve

Twizzies.
Twizzies everywhere.
On skin, clothes
And in hair.
Get them away.

Cheeks throb and
Knuckles red.
Hands purple and
Knees green.
Blood stained blue paisley dress.

Hair frizzed and
Knotted up.
Frayed bow barely attached.
Long nails and
Twizzies everywhere

Get them off

I'm going to scream

Get them off of me.

So I scream.

And then the kite is flying.
