Cinder(ella) Shoppe

Cinder(ella)-dress dipped
in a puddle of vanity;
dolled up and prudent, powder puff
lips and eyes rolled back into my head.
Ribbons of teeth and blood
patterned across Snow White lace,
and I'm barefoot, lightly scabbing the
carpet with my dust-caked, webbed feet.

So, I slashed your dream-cloud and
left traces of off-color, sticky plasma
throughout your heart and soul?

Well, sometimes the guilt shoved between your
toes and the heels of your shoes is too much to
conceive...
and I couldn't stand (in) those pumps.
