Lie?

The earthquake shook the
house and it shook her thoughts to
the point where
what does it matter engulfed
her and something as
slight as the tip-tap of
woodpeckers would put her
over the edge. She spoke carefully,
caressing her words with
a voice too young and too
naive to know or
care. But she was caught
up in primavera and
with a boy who
broke her heart.
We all make mistakes.
