Lovely
May 10, 2011
Petticoat skirttails and Chantilly lace
with a wizened black bow pinning hair from her face;
if ever I'd find a way out of this place,
I'd send her instead to save the disgrace.
An asylum for those far more tainted,
we'll choose to look past the black nails that she's painted
and pretend that our hurricane queen
is still more beautiful, gentle,
and much less obscene.
