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
