What's It Like to Have a Friend

What's It Like to Have a Friend · 3:4

Two girls embracing in a sunlit field of tall grass and flowers, one freckled face with closed eyes and pale curls resting on the other's shoulder, a hand cradling her head, pink and white blooms blurred in front. Signed Magpie.

Two girls hold on to each other in a field of tall grass and flowers. One face is turned toward us, eyes closed, freckled and flushed, pale curls everywhere; the other is hidden in the embrace, a hand cradling the back of her friend's head. Pink and white blooms blur in the foreground in warm afternoon light. The poem behind it is about friends who never really saw her, and this picture is the opposite of that: being held by someone who is not asking her to 'perform the screen they'd laid over' her.

Made from a poem.
