jules bulman - I Found a Stocking Under the Bedside Table

2014-06-13 17

I found a stocking under the bedside table
one of those knee-high ones that aren't real stockings
and cast no glamour

shed shrivelled
like a tiny proboscis
in that corner
where it crumpled
among some bits of glass from something broken

with the dust of her skin in the gauze
