[ Sabitsuki ]

  ah.
  her face shows again;
  she is pure, & of innocence,
  and corrupted must taint it
  again.
  bring her wrath among all those
  who’d do so to her, yet when it
  is herself, she shan’t lay a claw
  upon her own skin.

                                          「have you ever died before.」

  she has.

                 { ✘♟✘ }

Questions, more than
anything, are pieces of
consciousness    allowing
access into a picture,
however small. She
knows this, but keeps
the message at the back
of her brain, fearing insight
she would rather have
none of. 

                                                     [ no. ]
