PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Iron teeth scold
an old lady's kneeling
in her steel dress
and once bronze hair
replaced with aluminum
mocking the sterile lead figure
in zinc high-heels dancing
on mercury's floor while she
tries to hide years of her foundation
stolen by chisels and blow torches
as she scrapes the world
with her nickel heart
replacing silver love
with golden hatred.
