Parva Puella

By BIANCA LEGGIO

Why do you waste your time wasting?

At least shout at the stars to make sense of your waste,

your breath lonely

and important

and wasted.

 

Shout at the stars a little while

(see if you feel better.)

 

 

You’ll find that they remain although you won’t,

gold and wide and blue.

 

 

They see what you can’t and

 

know how to waste gloriously.
