Photos
of a fairytale princess
in an exposed position strewn in
a trashed trailer, shot from a
5-finger discounted, one-time use
camera with batteries cracked so
acid leaks out its fogged shutter,
encasement’s smashed, camera’s FUBAR
upon a human excrement-stained,
springs-broken, sheetless mattress
directly on carpet that's embedded
with bed bug blood, condoms
inside-out & hand-rolled cigarette ashes &
dead flies whose sisters
swarm impatiently, desperately
to hone in on a nice maggot-laying
pool & feed on the skin & muscle
costume, hot pink polyester tulle
layered on lavender & burnt umber
expired bruises, either 13 or 30 days old.
She’s neither 13 nor 30 years old.
In her left hand, a hot-pink sparkly scepter
topped with heart-shaped Minnie Mouse.
In her right hand…
yep,
you guessed it.
