imprinted eyes
in the back of my legs,
ankle to thigh
scarred
like staples in a seam
>
a permanent stocking
a cheap whore in a supermarket
>
a doorway leads to a red dress
hanging polka dots
too small, so I
s t r e t c h
into chaos
beautiful & ugly
>
a garish green skirt
frumps from my fruit
>
bare breasts too full
walk into a dream –
she sits in front of the mirror
blank _________
>
I sneak a glance
at my reflection;
I am topless, fat & ugly
>
where am I?
where is my baby?
