The Salt Of A Sentence

 "You're just too weird or something"

That sentence laid waste to her fragile self-worth
the devastation was deep
unforgiving
and set the tone
for all those she saw
all those she let in
salt of the earth
doing what salt does in the earth
until she's nothing but dry cracks
in dead sand
