Cannibalism

she sighs          this is her world

                            her retreat  

                                                  the shelves full of childhood dolls

                                                  the books lined in alphabetical order

 

her mirror and the golden circlet

she stops looks at herself         a little girl

                                                                           to the mirror/ to the mirror

 

Sarah opens a music box                            a twirling dancer begins to rehearse

an empty space                              enters

                                                            the nursery
