Stuck

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.
