The photo began collecting dust:
A thin film
Fogging the glass pane of
The young girl's glowing skin,
Her deep eyes reflecting the
Excitement of her sixteenth birthday.
However, the snapshot might as well paint
Where she slept breathlessly in the green,
Where a red sweater dripped
Around her arms,
How her tears froze her face
Into a Polaroid of haunted composure ---
That is what everyone here
In this mourn box
Are thinking of, anyway,
Even a year after
"We found her!"
Screamed across the screen.
I began thinking about how carelessly victims are portrayed in the media, whether it is a murder victim or otherwise.
