model

camera flashes blind hungry eyes
bony fingers perfectly manicured
striking matches lighting cigarettes
choking on soft blue smoke
like eyeshadow mascara running
two straight lines like emaciated legs
white as innocence cold as snow
on perfect mirrors trembling
in fluorescent lights
beastly beauty devoured
trembling soul a long time ago
