ensam.




“I’ll cover you.”


Foreign words; unknown language.
She is not covered-
She is entirely exposed.
She is bare.
She is naked.
She is as unprotected as they come.

The words ring out impossibly.
A promise never made, an oath never heard, an echo of something that never actually happened.

She’s not sure which is stronger, the knowledge or the feeling.

Metaphorically spread-eagle, realistically curled in the fetal position.

Empty, she will not be filled.
Lost, she will not be found.
Shield-less.
Guard-less.
Feckless.
Reckless.

Un-covered.
