The Girl That Made Me Sad To Watch

defeated Cassandra
                         sackcloth gown
    strapless sultry shoulders
             wish bone
                       anorexic dorsals
damp
 limp lipstick
        stained smoke
   juts just
                                        hanging
and little worry lines
   (cracks in clay)
   stretch sketch etching
                 frownward down eyelines
        anxiety
           drips
her panic flutter plied forearms
those frantic butter flied forearms
     hair fidgets
  digits on arial visits
             cigarette
                 the clock watching fidgets
Movement, you see
    draws your eye
       from black eye
