Surrogate

Seriating liaisons slicing heart’s silhouette,
vanity’s cosmetician air brushes strumpet masks,
cadaverous soul swallowed by looking glass,
Venus in opulence sarcophagus
moans her mummified princess passions.

Avon’s prophet calls from virginal mausoleum,
silky siren sounds recanted as echoes from fractured hour glass,
homecoming Barbie doll exchanging diadem
for acquiesced suburbia Camelot,
tombstone sobs in death knell’s chilling voice from closet coffin.

Band of gold on wedding finger a noose,
caustic connubial chamber an acid for vow’s sanctuary,
mistress’s pores emaciated from rigor mortis caresses,
filleting nights in somber sobs embalm the flame,
surrogate’s comatose survivor dethrones the honeymoon’s queen,
walking in the peeling flesh of her rotting dream.
