White For Mourning
He saw the failed rescue attempt
Her whole body was white
As white as the dress she had discarded on the riverbank
He studied her still-beautiful still form
Thrilled and repelled
And cried for his bride
Kissing her fish cold lips
He crumpled the note she’d left
And watched them take her away with his dreams
For Anthony’s Whiteness contest
