Worms infested the mind of who she was. Dirt invaded her mind, clouding it. Stone she once carved is now my only memory. Discarded shovels strewn across dull grass like brushstrokes— Who she once was is now a memory.
Dirt invaded her mind, clouding it. Rubble thrown into her eyes— Her roots, deep as a willow tree lost inside a fire.
Stone she once carved is now my only memory. It became sanded away with time. Etchings on her face, wrinkles on her grave. The hues of life drained to shades.
Discarded shovels strewn across dull grass like brushstrokes. Her jaw, slacked with absence. Makeup forced onto her, she was left unaware. Secondary colors become muddied.
