Party Dress
she felt it lingering
before it exploded
pus that cools
before it opens
before it opens
she unzips her party dress
a fire alarm goes off in the distance
she doesn't need this
she doesn't need this
when she unzips her party dress
the lace burns holes
in her fintertips
in her fingertips
the flames curl
swallowing
her body whole
her body whole
still in the party dress
she is undressed
but the smoke lingers
