adapted from Every Parent's Worst Nightmare: How Ketamine Killed our Daughter
Her hair the color of tangerines,
Wearing black glasses, and a daisy covered smock
Smiling in sunlight
Her hair, lemon yellow,
Robed in rainbow, clad in combat boots
Faux pout with laughing eyes
Her hair the bright green of leprechauns
Mouth smirking, winking at the camera
Day-glo life,
Painting in the afternoons
Dancing euphoric trance in darkness
Kandi Kid
Ketamine* hallucinations
Falling, flying,
Seeing the thread that binds all living things,
Talking to God,
Forgetting her own name,
Drifting off to sleep
In a deep K tunnel
Turning her back to the party
*Ketamine is used a horse tranquilizer, and as an anesthetic for humans
