forgotten in the dust by Jessica Yendust continues to fall on
a chinese girl praying and smiling
in her plush simplicity;
her silk jacket littered by
old age and forgetfulness;
her jet black hair now
tainted white by
the same disease that
wrinkles her skin;
she wonders if
she'll be played with again--
when will light finally brighten
her corner of the room? 09/28/2003 Posted on 09/28/2003 Copyright © 2024 Jessica Yen
