The 2 Miss Leavens - Rasputina

Here we see the two Miss Leavens

Each girl was 16 years old

Kylie died in a car crash in Iowa

Harriet in an 1815 portrait from Connecticut

Harriet’s necklace and purse are lined in scarlet reds

Kylie’s Myspace states that she was a good friend

Stylized clouds float behind their heads

Suggesting the halos that awaited them

The two Miss Leavens

No doubt in heaven

I paint the portraits on ivory

Two perfect likenesses

Teenage your highness'

Soft-focused by death, by history

I am the Limner

I make portraits in miniature

These two girls were separated by two hundred years

But still they are sisters

When this you see, remember me

Bury in your mind

What others say when I’m awake

Speak of me as you find

Resigned to dust

Don’t pity us

We’re forever pretty and mysterious
