The pink sunrise suprise
with loose-jointbreaking-point colors
pale hazy blue,
and blossoming rose color
Evil all its sin is still alive
and half my brain
all dried up like a prune
the monster, Quasimodo
tiny flying antlike creatures by the millions
probing for nurture,
then flew away
unsatisfied
together dum-de-dum
i was cannibalized
but i'm not null and void, mongoloid
squealing like the first free pigs off the ark
switchblade renegade
with dark desires
and my own wayward brand of reverence
so thin that the sunlight passes through it
I wanted this poem to show Adah's hurt at being disabled. I also wanted to show Adah's attention to detail as well as her own unique way of speaking and observing. Adah is also very intelligent and rather unlike her sisters. I also wanted the poem to be a bit random because that is the way Adah's brain works, it is a bit random.

unsatisfied..."
