Helpless An Premiere Contest Winner

A million feet stomp, A million shoes, a million suits Her petals have flattened into the ground It’s rush hour A woman stops briskly, A happy change for her Bending slowly with the stampede around her She picks up the flower and brings her home.

Alexandra, congrats on your top placement. You've captured a snapshot of a human soul with this brief write, but I think you illustrated the Nin quote elegantly. Well done ~ John
