No One Looked Twice

White Gold Diamonds and Turquoise
Moonlight eyeballing and latticing her soap-pallid
Low-cut neck
Nobody looked twice
As her gown funneled and descended
The veranda tugged her broken pumps
And barrettes bent spent come-ons veiled
But thinly
Failed to keep her in the gala mood
She dissolved into the twilight
She glared into the solvent night
With a look that could cut glass
The world was an overturned bowl sunk in dishwater
And no one looked twice...
