Her hair was a thousand tiny ballet dancers

with eyes like the rings of Saturn

Her gaze was eternity unfolding

Biting teeth like a box of rusty nails

A mouth as wide as an empty cashiers till

Her tongue was a hangman’s noose

Her neck as long as an angry goose

She had shoulders as high as a wave

and her arms were old bunting in knots

With wrists that held patterns of scars

Long fingers were lost catching stars

Grey fingernails like stained window glass

Her chest was an overcrowded tent

and her ******* were upended top hats

Her stomach was a beached whale about to burst

With a bellybuttons descent into madness

An *** that is clenched fists wrapped in leather

Her thighs were slapped orangutan cheeks

She had knees that cracked like bad lightbulbs

And her shins were nomadic spears

Her feet were deflated blowfish

And her toes were fish heads,

Peeping out from an open can
