she thinks she sees you on the telly, running away again, reflected ghost in the panes of glass beside the boys you would have liked the ~~boys~~ heroes that run down the street with chairs crates & crowbars shoos the kids outside, rewinds & painfully *goes back* was it you you with your Lamborghini dreams low slung dress, sequined & hollowed out spine carved from arching backwards with lips apart and folding in two to rub blistered heels on the way back from the dance damn those heels - the ones you saved for begged for stole for you *left* her in a country pub with the tab to pay she sat sipping cheap shiraz - clipped red nails stone chipped skin freckled frayed forlorn your blood wondered where you'd gone imagined you with arm extending - dark highway city bound better life bound you you *could* have had a better use for the gold that slapped itself across the line of trees on the other side of the railway line in the late afternoon light for the admiration of magpie crowds who warble warble in aurelian dawns or the cool creek draped like a silk kimono over bare legs in the summer sparkling tinsel shawls draped over stolen pine branches the left behind sister folds the kids pajamas over the twine that ties itself in knots where the front porch chime twinkles in autumn gales she notices nothing pairs and everything is frayed rewinds to when you were a little girl with mismatched socks - with stiched unicorns & one with a tiny heart hurts as she wonders where you bin these last few years wonders if you got your sparkle dreams, arms dripping with chains of ~~fools~~ gold 24 carot oh my gold jangling circles down ~~fake~~ tan arms He took you to Fiji, you scrawled smudged purple ink hard diamond glinting, she imagines, island sun piercing the rock on your left hand on the other side, white sails - a lie of a post card because you would have signed it she burnt your scrapbooks last winter on your birthday, the ones with your longings for escape, the cut outs of princes and towers the love heart lasso the imaginary beaus paper mansions & illusions of silly girls dreams, she knows *now*, because she saw the city lights once, looking for you they had nothing on the spread of stars, that bright twilight one in pink skies the lanterns strung between the blue gums, fireflies clinging to muddy dark banks and the bonfires in winter, sparks dying on wet grass what's happened, they ask, when she returns mascara running runaway plans runaway girls runaway dreams she rubbed acetone hard, the cotton balls fell away crimson you left her there and stole the last of the silver, so she hitched a ride home & life became *without you* she searches every filmed angle she was sure you were there, no sequins sparkles or handsome man with hand in the small of your back oh get back to halycon fields where the shadows don't come in until it's very late and the cicadas are rubbing their wings toes in the riverbed and stolen cider and mum's benson & hedges gilded foil inserts sharp origami'd into ibis the edits remove all trace of the long gone sister in reflection - mistaken, perhaps now she can only focus that young young man blue flash blue eyes dripped crimson blood on Sydney streets after killing a girl in a hotel they pinned him down with a milkcrate, there was a man there with a crowbar roaring, shouting *you killed a girl you dog* *you killed a girl* who are you, he says he doesn't know where he is she doesn't know where you are his eyes are blue your eyes were blue. ![image.png](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/riverflows/v5UFyMt4-image.png) [Image by Sasha Freemind on Unsplash](https://unsplash.com/photos/OkAAx4mI2Hc) *I'm not sure where this came from. Yesterday's papers were filled with a man who walked down a Sydney street dripping blood from knifing a woman in the back, and killing a woman earlier. Men rushed down the street to corner him and stop him, pinning him to the ground, a milk crate over his head. He looked so young and so confused, and his eyes so very blue. Whilst they cried terrorist as they always do, he was just a young man in need of help, and my heart went out to him, as well as his family. One guy with a crowbar was ready to kill him - it was frightening. Compassion for all beings is hard to practice when they commit such atrocity, and my heart also goes out to the young woman who died - but I wasn't able to forget his eyes. And then this poem. I don't know. Poetry is a strange thing.* #### I do hope Partiko bloody lines this poetry up properly. If it looks like one long paragraph, I hate Partiko. It won't look like that on Steempeak. I hope!

Very powerful poem! I am left bereft. The enormous hole, made smaller by a fire I hope. At least she won't have the memories every time she handles your items. Will that make her pain less? I hope so because so much of it was unbearable. I think I could talk about this poem for hours.

wow this is powerful and so sad and terrifying as well. this incident seems to have brought up so much for you. It is really tragic what has happened and why t had to happen as well, it brings up so many questions which you portrayed so well in this poetry.

Thank you so much. I watch the footage and the bright blue of his confused eyes really hit me full stop here's a kid with mental health problems being called a terrorist yet he is so young and so ill. I started thinking of all the other lost ones and somehow this poem took it's shape on the page. It is a mystery to me really how it came about but I guess that's how the muse works right??

Love when she comes back and takes off her nail polish. Here are some of my questions. You don't have to answer these questions, I just want to voice them. These are the questions I am asking myself: Did she ever paint her nails again? Are her children two daughters? Does she blame herself? Or does she blame you? Is she too numb to blame anyone? She burned the stuff after all. I don't think I could have done that. Not ever. It would all stay in the family until there was no one left who remembered you. Excellent poem! An entire novel in a few words. Maybe I'll try to turn it into a haiku haha

I don't think she ever paints her nails again full stop to me the nail polish and the shoes and the dress represent those kind of Dreams young girls have for Fame and fortune and love, but they don't necessarily bring happiness. She was lucky being left behind because the real value for her is in the beauty of the place around her which wasn't good enough for the Runaway sister. I can see her being upset and angry at being betrayed and by taking off the nail polish she is rejecting the sister that brought her along for the ride but then just left her there. I don't think she blames herself all the sister but she thinks of her all the time and misses her . so she looks for her everywhere. When she sees the news report with the blue eyes of the killer, she cannot help but think of the eyes of her sister and whether she is safe and ok. She imagines her sisters life is a lie because she hasn't heard much from her, and knows that she is probably just one of many Lost Girls in a city that she may never come back from. If she really had achieved her dreams the Left Behind sister would have heard from her. I think she Burns The Scrapbook as a way of letting her go because it has been such a long time. By burning The Scrapbook she is also burning her dreams or the ones that childishly existed that day they ran away and for some reason the sister left her, probably because she was selfish or maybe even she was abducted who knows. When I saw the news report I was struck by the beautiful blue eyes of the murderer. He clearly had mental health problems and was terribly confused. I thought of the families who had young girls like the one that was killed and that held breath until they get the phone call to say they are ok. So I guess I was imagining someone who hadn't heard from their sister for a long time and feared she was the one that died but I don't think she does or that she will never know really. Sorry about all the random capitals I am using speak to text. Oh and the kids question mark no idea I think they are just there to show that her life has moved on and she has a family and might be doing it hard but there are things that she treasures that might be very separate from her memories of the sister full stop when she said that the gold light on the trees or the sounds of the Magpies weren't good enough for her sister I think she is reflecting on the beauty she has in her life that has more value van Lamborghini dreams Thanks so much for your questions I actually really wanted to talk about this poem. You probably know the feeling being a writer yourself, where the story and the words take you out of yourself and touch your heart at the same time and you think where the fuck did that come from? It isn't even my life. Posted using [Partiko Android](https://partiko.app/referral/riverflows)

Wow! I gotta say, you nailed your vision, wherever it came from, in your poem. Isn't that incredible? I find poetry, especially any that *took you out of yourself and touched your heart at the same time and you think where the fuck did that come from?* can create pictures far better than a thousand words can. You so did that. I didn't even read your explaining blurb after the poem in the post. I didn't even see it. I guess I was too eager to get into the poem to finish reading the post. Remember how afraid I was that it was autobiographical? Freaked me out that poem. So good.

Yes blank is much better. So: one blank blue gaze bared her perception you came back That has an improvement also for a quality known as kireji, a cut of some sort between two of the lines.

late to the party but finally got around to this. i love the dreaminess of it, the slight confusion and different angles, the fine details of the narrative. theres so many unanswered questions...
