Angelica
John Grey
She's dead -
deader than lovely -
deader than lace underwear
and the bird in the hand
I accidentally crushed -
picked peony,
opened bottle of the '29 Bordeaux -
it's how we treat our beauty -
which brings me to this feeble compromise
the body loosed its hold -
the air's still wearing her perfume.
