Slimp - Slink limp

Slimp away from battle, boy
Use 2 long, 1 strong leg to carry you home
Slimp away from battle, girl
Duck behind bushes and around pedestals while no one's looking
Slimp away from battle, child
Run with a crutched foot and head ducked and back greased
Sure, it's more herioic to die
But the ones that live
They slimp

    The ghost of a girl in 1893

    A spirit was not something that I had wanted

    That I was ink and glue and wax but mostly, I was papercuts

    Did you know that, when you read me, I am made of memories
