A Moment

Body bent backwards
Eyes closed shut
She is motionless in movement
Her knees are all cut

Her heartbeat is faint
Her skin is all dry
Her fingernails are jaggered
Dry tears in her eyes

One cut down the middle
One slice was all it took
A sudden moment of desperation
A sudden moment
A chance
A look …
