Picture Perfect - For Contest
Picture Perfect
She exuded a vindictive pride -
not frightened – not fortunate.
She would bathe in the amazing ritual -
opening night. All eyes, all attention,
focused on her. She would arise – victorious.
Critics reviews a sweet prelude to a vision.
Her presence would beguile millions.
The awakening was awful.
The vicious betrayal of a dimming corridor,
finding herself alone in a darkened corner.
Life’s gruesome, oval moon,
depressions grim monolith,
patronized by the annoyingly delightful,
opaque interpretations
of jaundiced museum goers.
