Little porcelain doll; raven strands in curled crowns<\/p>\n
Tied with thick black rope. White gossamer waves flow<\/p>\n
Off your hollow eggshell body, down to black-tipped feet,<\/p>\n
Black-knotted bows \u2013 spiders cautiously showing a leg.<\/p>\n
Cupid shaped his weapon from your lips, but<\/p>\n
Venus\u2019 eyes gaze through shadow. A wooden pall<\/p>\n
Crushed the light. Now fallen from your marble mantle<\/p>\n
You lie here. In this dark, satin gloves are wool, lace trim<\/p>\n
The same midnight-nothing as the coarse string<\/p>\n
Of the rag doll\u2019s plait. You may as well be nude.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
