Sacred Wrecked Vessel 
          For Marilyn  Monroe
 
Embryonic shores drift-
Chanel no. 5 wind lisps
black & white cinematic clips
 
Marble Cycladic doll
wind blown dress
casts serpentine lines
 
Stilettos stutter & stammer
in a diamond cocktail
of waking dreams 
 
Sotheby’s auction nets 
the mermaid’s dress
she stitched herself into
 
Sacred wrecked vessel
wrapped in a breathing mink                                   
drifts scripting a red diary.
