Dollface

Grandma turned back

at an unfortunate moment 

Dollface, undone

frozen in place, unsettling palms - outstretched 

Unnatural fingers splayed

her unwigged, tabula rasa visage 

Tearless painted eyes blank 

unshuttered casements housing no soul

Her cruel, short-sleeved safari suit

in beige - a testament of poor taste 

Dollface, dressed to fill

space in an unwatched shop window.
