the dark side of Ebony Parker

Ebony Parker.

alone in the world

Her stepfather angry

her sisters cry when they lay their eyes on her

her eyes and hair black as night

she does not cry

or laugh

or smile

or frown

or talk

she is made of thoughts

of spirits

of ghosts

of fright

of death

she treasures only spiders

not friends

not family

not objects

she prowls the yard at night

and gathers roses

her sisters cry when they lay their eyes on them

and her stepfather yells

she never wears shoes

or sunglasses

or hats

or jewelry

She likes only thunder

not rain 

not clouds

not sun

not wind

alone in the world,

She is Ebony Parker.
