the girl who lived by the graveyard
would come out only
in the evening
the girl who lived by the graveyard
would play with stick snares
instead of dolls
the girl who lived by the graveyard
would be ever barefoot
but never dirty
She was deaf-mute but her
smile needed no words
The ravens danced in wide circles
above her but she always
wore her immaculate white dress
in perfect contrast
The girl who lived by the graveyard
was everyone’s best friend
because everyone knew
she was not real
but no one would dare say so
for as long as
childhood lasted
