Virginia

Children playing in the shallows with a toy boat.
Her body coming downstream, pulled away
From the stone she placed in her pocket eighteen days before. 
This was no Ophelia circled in fantastic garlands
Incapable of her own distress.  
Face down skin blue body bloated
Could Leonard even recognize her when he had to claim her at the station?
