Poetry by Abigail Pearson
Green Glass Girl
I said I’d write you
Before the winter’s morning
I said I’d kiss you
Before the snow lay melting
I
When the green glass girl
Said magic still survived
I believed I believed I believed
Because you were here, and you had long red hair
I
Her words were venom
Deathbells and honeysuckles touched by mold
She would have me eat them
As I lay on her love-altar
I
Through prisms in snow
And light by fire
I am caught between two of you
Whom am I to love?
I
By lunar light
The girl of glass, the girl of bloody green
Ate out my heart
I heard it in her teeth
I
I…
Thought you would come
Thought you would dash out her teeth
Thought I wouldn’t be dead in the snow
I.

Her words were venom
Deathbells and honeysuckles touched by mold
She would have me eat them
As I lay on her love-altar
I
Through prisms in snow
And light by fire
I am caught between two of you
Whom am I to love?
I

The girl of glass, the girl of bloody green
Ate out my heart
I heard it in her teeth
I
I…
Thought you would come
Thought you would dash out her teeth
Thought I wouldn’t be dead in the snow
I.
