Cellophane Flowers never happened for me....

A Platinum Blonde
I was not looking for her
when I came upon the body:

foam green, skin straining
to withhold the sloshing matter.

I wonder where her teeth first broke
through the soft prison of her gums, and

Did her scalp flash now and then
in a white chrism of bleach,
or did she come in from a northern country
where all the little girls are born with yellow hair?

And did she think she could escape it,
if she did as she was told,
or if she ran away as fast as
a human being can?

Only to finish, here,
a gleaming object on a slab
bathed by the flax flash
of the coronor's camera.
