Content warning: Poem, Death, Time
Dress Code
June 27, 2022
they claimed my hourglass figure was distracting
that I should cover myself and deny their mortality
that each incandescent grain
should remain unseen
betrayal is asking time itself to be silent
soundless suspension of eternity
a snapshot heat death
unseeing until that final universal exhalation
where tearing free of my gown
their last vision in face of entropy
becomes not pearl, but common empty
