She imagined a life where beauty

wasn’t her disguise; where she

could take off her shoes and dance

unnoticed; where the music inside

the walls was not a requiem but

a serenade; where her heartbeat

was a lullaby and disappointment:

a symphony.

In a room full of smoke perfume, the sediment of sentiment

sits at the bottom of a forgotten glass. For company: an upset

chair, a worn-out sofa, and the sound of someone moving

around upstairs.
