Patchwork Girl - River Cinquain

Saturday, December 17, 2005

I've undertaken a task called "the zombie series." it's a series of poems about... well... zombies. completely unrelated to firefly. I wrote this cinquain and as I was reading it back to myself... it was River's voice. So this is hers. Patchwork Girl - my river cinquain.

CATEGORY: FICTION    TIMES READ: 1543    RATING: 9.0 (G)    SERIES: FIREFLY

Patchwork Girl

She finds

the pieces that have

died and fallen away.

She gathers them all together

and sews

herself

back into the

shape of a normal girl—

mostly whole, held together with

black threads.

A piece

is missing here

and there, but if you squint

and tip your head, she almost looks

complete.
