Behind the Finery

Behind the fin­ery it lies
Per­fumed
Caked in makeup
Like a fat whore
Hid­ing pock marked skin
And razor scars
Carv­ing its story
Across the face
In blood red font

Like a movie set
A façade
Where Beaver and Wally
Dance with broom sticks
Prepar­ing
To woo the girl of their dreams
All the while­fangs glis­sen like fine ivory,
June Cleaver’s fangs
Glis­ten
Like fine ivory
Prepar­ing school lunches
Lay­ered in false promises
And unend­ing night

On this stage
Actors
Stick fig­ures
Card­board cutouts
Speak­ing mono­syl­labic
Affir­ma­tions
To Baal
The end­ing
Always
Ordained
