"death wound itself around her bones like a piece of red ribbon." -Amanda Lovelace

Body wound

and with browned

roses bound

Round ringless

bone and cell

freshly stung

Tails of red

and blue ribbon

riven from a prison

Of old stone

and iron leaks magic

maiden's healing murmur

That Lovelace thread

of wanton bandana

Amanda

Of her hairline tears

dabbed for the writ


and what sit unknit
