Vanity's Death

Vanity's Death

It served her needs
on its knees
to keep her beauty
reflecting

aged with time
it 'creaked' sometime
and her drawers
nearly hit the floor

is she vain
when she proclaim
that "it is nothing
short of ugly"

lift its face
a model makeover
I want a complete other
with beauty and glamor

European hinged
white maple swirls
marble slate of black pearl
an installer's world

dragged down the stairs
beaten with a hammer drills wrath
rising to heaven in ambers
a vanity's death
