Trash


Tiny, white pill. A trip to the pet store. Girl gets handed some fish, all gold and swimming in a yellow balloon. In time, girl opens the balloon, pours the family of fish into a bowl. Tiny, white pill. Garbage for the mind. The rabbits outside are singing. Girl hears the music and paints her lips red, dances on a clean, clean floor. When she takes the trash out, she sits on the curb and waits for sunrise.


Ashley Inguanta has earned an honorable mention in Glimmer Train for their Very Short Fiction Award.
