She is switch-blades cut
To-the-thin
Vintage satin ball gowns with hacked-to-short-hems
She is Quant on Ecstasy.
She is a rose in an old time movie.
Black to the Heart.
Not evil, as such, but full
Of complicated emotions like lust
And envy.
She is a Turn of the Century Designer
Introducing mourning garb to Day Wear.
She is not giving a fuck
Smoking like a train
Sleeping with Russian aristocrats
But after, lying in the silk of the night
She wonders
About The Lost Princess
And whether she is still alive.
