Hell in Hell
The scotch yellow light
projecting through the hallway
filmed the absence of movement.
Fly shadows decorate the wall, now
floral prints if you still frame
We should have hung them!
instead of square white blocks
The emptyness was always there.
And some nails through studs
Aqua velva musk, perimeters
Memories
looking back...
One should have sensed
Leotard smiles
stretched further...
Than her real skin
