Things Left Unsaid - Stephanie Hemphill

What you don't know

is that like most renewable
resources I can be translucent

one day and broken-down
the next, sharp and then dull.

I replenish myself, shed my skin
like the rattlesnake, learn to use

new limbs like the starfish,
devour insects and enemies

like the black widow. What you
don't know is that although

my eyes appear to stare blankly
forward, words boil inside my head.

What you don't know
are the things I left unsaid.



I haven't started reading this book yet, but it seems like a good one.
I'll let you guys know what it's like when I've finished.
Don't know how long it'll take though.
