I pull the pigtails
of the pale
little girl
whose skirt
is a raggedy shroud.
She is skinny
innocence
and says
in a past life
she carried
a cross.
She says, “Every time I shoplift, an angel sheds a tear”

This is lovely, Rob. It gets the mind wandering into multiple stories. So what you wrote keeps growing in the imagination of others. Hugs.

Thank you for commenting on the effect of the language, Teagan. Poetry should be like telepathy.
And the subconscious is absurd. 🙂

Thans, Paula! This is part of a series of surrealist poems. That image was a mistake that I liked. I hope that makes sense. 🙂
