White Queen

marry when june roses grow

Rose was the kind of pallid you’d expect of a cadaver.

Everything from her milky skin, to her silvery hair, even her startlingly transparent eyes had the same strange quality of not being quite there. She spent countless hours under the burning June sun, calling me over to compare the color of her arms to mine every five minutes or so. I told her she’d get cancer.

She told me it was worth it.
