Fashion Victim
A flash of garter, a touch of lace:
Strutting the catwalk, tattoos on her face.
Ice cream colours and pastels for spring;
underwear as outerwear, a wild fling.
Digitally printed, colours run amok.
Paparazzi salivate as butterflies flock.
A military trench to cover bare skin,
embellished with jewels to distract what’s within,
and a coat that once camouflaged prey from its fate
now adorns the nude legs of ‘The Crucial Debate.’
Under-fed? Cocaine addict? The same every year:
magazines that viciously kill a career.
The model whose frame was so perfect for clothes
pushed into the limelight, a withering rose.
Ripped apart by the press for promoting no curves,
“We’ll make her life unhappy, it’s what she deserves.”
So the teardrops that smudge the pale rouge on her face,
sigh, ‘Don’t worry darling, you’re next season’s white space.’
