Faith Guoga

laura ended up in the water
like Ophelia did
petal-mouth open to the river
hair unspooling
like a video cassette tape.
beautiful little fool
wrapped in plastic
cherry red, cherry ruin
cherry lips.
the pines hum your name
the log lady laughs,
we’ll never know
who killed
the homecoming queen.
laura
you are still sinking.
i still don’t know if
daisy was right or wrong.
