Monkey See (Earlier Than She Should)

the flowing river, a sunken head
a fitful night, her messy bed
a startled wake, and wild eyes
this time, a blessing in disguise?

her naked feet, the slick grass
her gasping lungs, she runs fast
her beating heart, and burning eyes
maybe this time, no one dies?

the flowing river, its finally reached
a fitful night, on the beach
a broken girl, and crying eyes
a dead body, of toddler size
