I watch her
piano fingers
reach up
to touch
ivory keys
Curves of pearls
inside a clam
pried open
chocking
on spiraled sand
She takes
her flesh covered
bone hooks
claws at enamel
digging pink beds, red
I
once
saw
a beautiful animal
go mad
In a looking glass
turning crimson copper
ripping permanence
rinsing and drowning it
in the sink
