What she would remember of that day
is the red mixed with the white of the
Frangipani flowers that were the bed
she lay on
and the fluid that painted her thighs
as he gave her pain mixed pleasure
The rice they had later
red mixed with white, the way she liked it
And how could she forget the red of her mother's eyes
as she realized what had been done and cried for lost innocence.
