clean cut lawns,
practical shoes,
shined and polished.
floral paper
plasters the pale walls,
infested with asbestos.
at least it is hidden
from sight.
what would the neighbors think?

i obey commands
like a well trained dog.
smile,
always poised,
never offend,
dust the porcelain
seraphim, above the fireplace.
curfew, 10:00,
don't forget your pearls,
they give off a
respectable heir.

living in pastels
all my life.
always dull, always fake.

the only colour in my life,
the black red blood,
seeping from my chest,
soaking my pressed
powder blue blouse.
my body hunched over
a white picket fence,
slowly staining
from white to red.

if you can touch me, i know i'm still only dying
