She was a wild one.

Be careful how you read her.

Like a newly-washed

and wet braid of hair,

it’s easy to get tangled up

within the strands.

There are those who

walk lightly on eggshells,

and there are those like she

who prefer stomping instead

to obtain a “cracking” effect.

Either way, the final result

is forever the same:

A scrambled light of whites.
