“Oh My Darling Model”
Staged, it all looks aged, and my cup it is empty.
But my silky crossed legs are surely peremptory.
The paper might hide what they questioned, in their hushed asides.
‘Did she get any sleep at all, last night?”
But then again I don’t have worry about gushing,“oh darling, is this my best side?”
There’s no milk in my jug and my biscuit looks dry
And the hug from the photographer seemed to me a little awry.
“Yes it’s all such a bore, after so many years, and talking of tears.”
“Well, darling I tell you, I could just cry”
She sat motionless, statuesque at breakfast; the morning light catching the folds of her silk dressing gown, but not her face, or the emotions it wore. A pastry went untouched as she devoured the newspaper that masked her face, her knuckles white, skin stretched over bone as she clenched its edges. Absent from the world around her, an obituary anchored her gaze; a name from the past, reminding her of a secret and somebody she thought long buried. Her coffee grew tepid, but not as cold as the chill she felt, wondering who else might have survived her double cross.
Forgot to post the title, which is ‘There, in Black and White’.
