she said she's
beyond repair,
i believed her
as i watched her
stitch herself
back into place
with her eyes closed.

and her eyeballs
were placed
carefully in a box
to keep them from
rolling down the
muddy street
where she chose to live,
under the shade
of a maple tree.

i had no idea
what broke her,

but she said she's
beyond repair,
and i believed her.
