Girl Found By Riverbank

Text reading: she was last seen almost woman, Maybe 20, standing on Leaside Bridge, her mouth licking honey from beneath her nails. She was wearing a red coat. She was said to have her mother's eyes. Her mother's eyes are billowing linens. Her mother says she's got her father's teeth. They're not straightforward enough. A fisherman found her on Friday afternoon before the rain. Her mother thought she was buying gloves. The almost woman's body was found wrapped in seaweed, carried to shore in a bowl of milk froth. Her lungs were origami accordions, pressed flat beneath grey stones. The fisherman unwrapped her from her seaweed cocoon. She said, thank you kindly, and walked away. She was las seen wearing a coat, pulling stones out of her pocket, walking away with feathers falling out from her hands.
