she
died
with
a
smile
playing
on
her
lips
, propped
up
by
two
pillows
large

to
pass
for
plush
chairs

or
building
a
bridge
with
her
palms
where
a
blind
bird
could
roost.
someone

she
saved
her
hands
for
rock

roll
.
you
remember
the
month
she
turned
her

was
a
descent
into
the
macabre
no
photographer
could
prepare

who
claims
to
have
been
privy
