“You weren’t careful enough, and scarlet drops well where you punctured the skin.”

I like how the author relates the small sad memories to little cuts, saying they hurt more than the big ones sometimes.

The whole thing was just so lyrical. Wish I would have read it before the poll closed. Then again, it was hard enough deciding between the ones I did read. This magazine is good! I like it : ) Sorrowbird will stick with me for awhile.
