The pillbox, the rose, the search lights.
The hat blows away
& the rusty chain lies taut
strangling the places that turn small
wheels.
I was dope sick once, in a strange city.
Some curious passersby stopped
& with a gold tube of lipstick
drew a red outline around my shadow.
One camera snapped the famous
image, more flesh, a steel box,
framed in her vertical sarcophagus,
tiny & straight & not moving.
I—or the shape I was at this second—
writhed. The portico of light
crashed against my inner eyelid.
It was night, but not real night.
