The Doll

THE DOLL With Mona Lisa wiles, unfurled. Her porcelain lips with tight grip. A button dress antique and pearled. Her glass eyed threat. Unnerving doll — she’s quite a trip. A poignant face, pompadour curls. Her long stem rose replaces whip? Alien smile out of this world — impenetrable craftsmanship. I broke in pieces as she hurled her glass eyed threat. 6/30/2019
