Dolls: a short poem

I wrote this on a whim

Sitting,

around a table.

Words,

Tumbling out of mouths.

Bright red lips,

Such pretty

Dolls.

Mouths tilted,

Smilling.

Never a frown.

What lays behind

The thin

Skin?

Stretched tight,

Unmoving.

Frozen.

Shining,

Glassy eyes.

Light,

Bouncing off,

The irises.

Never absorbed,

Never penetrated.

Beautiful,

Pretty dolls.
