a bit of October leaf lodged in the left cover

her lips chapped and faded

what a nest above her brow

who had done her hair

undone her corset

who left her shoeless

skirt above her knees

hem unraveling

no one kissed her

all prodded pinched

what trauma dreams someone tried to feed her

someone fingers out a bit of roughage her eyes were parted as were her lips

a spliced heart

one prince dared look down that throat took in her soured breath

another spider
