The Girl Who Smelled Like The Sea
For Scared.
Seventeenth crack: inside, not note, word, mirror, dress, night, baon, milk, teeth, time, voice, silence, laugh, tear, pencil, coffee, band-aid. Kumot. Small kumot. Scared's kumot when she was 5 and she hid under it during brownout and heard dogs barking.
Scared held her own kumot in hands. Warm. Like first time someone said her scared is real.
She wrapped kumot around herself. Not around pier. Around herself.
