Dark Knight-tress 

Underneath 
This gown I feel nothing
Silk less feelings
The odor of intimate apparel lessens 
Vanity fare from any sun
Warrior of beauty
Where have you gone?

Paper Thin
Cut down to any size,
Crumble, crop me wrong 
Pull the insulation from my heart.

Colored daubs and swatches
crave artist’s practiced hand.
Justice, nearly blind, yet watches—
unwrought art upon a stand.

Regard the brushes in a row—
the palettes and the...

Her whetstones,
Furniture
And carpets.

She’ll need
