STUCK
+
Asphyxiated,
Moonless between the fingers
the mascara is leaking.
+
Restless is the changing room.
Shelter here is none.
The mirror smiles
but has no teeth.
+
An arthritic skeleton
made of glitter and salt
lingers over her shoulder.
The dancer that barely weighs.
+
A tired play everyone loves:
Just another hippocampal scar.
+
Oh, how she wishes,
the drapery falls.
