the girl in the candy cupboard
there is a very small girl that lives in the candy cupboard and she hides behind sweets and treats.
the girl eats rosebuds and feathers and pastries because you are what you eat and she just wants to be precious.
At night, she cracks open the cupboard door and she wafts the scent of the moonlight and it smells like comfort and that’s all that she needs-if only for a little while.
she bathes in the light. she lets it drip down her nose, cheeks, chin-a moonlight sponge.
the cupboard girl doesn’t cry for herself, she lets the moon do it for her.
