hangs, no breasts, no hips
just twelve ribs and
a stomach indented
bright pink nail paint
as if to distract
us from what we see,
the sallow, sunken face
her bottle-dyed hair
the only weight on her body,
what does she see
in those poorly veneered eyes?
does she see all the knobs
of her bird-hollowed bones,
or the chubby little kid
who was always picked
last in gym class?
