She stayed in the nowhere

She stayed in the nowhere

planted dogwoods along

the stream of nothing

delighted by the ripples,

sang songs

wrote poems and plays

scrawled through her phone

relentlessly for hours

did dope

with silver spoons

parted her hair 

just... so,

then did it again

selfies with pursed lips

envisioned as irises with ruby petals

large enough

to engulf 

the bother of existing;

she laid back on her bed

watched spiders weave

and dance

watched spiders weave

and dance

as the dogwoods grew rings

around her

she stayed in the nowhere

because there was nowhere

left to go
