A METAPHOR, FOR MARY

A METAPHOR, FOR MARY


tossed in a dumpster
a broken doll...
one eye socket
sprung hung down
glassily staring
at twisted arm
and broken foot 

stuffing bled out
of holes
where her heart
would have been

no doll hospital rescue
could salvage
this wreckage -

beyond recognition
a once beautiful toy
