Her hand suspended
hung lazily from a
pearl pale arm
palm up
index out
not quite pointed
not quite crooked
disinterested
disengaged
detached
DeMilo's
lost appendage
awaiting tribute
or change
whichever
comes first
I've only just seen this poem on The Camel Hump, Stephanie, but I very much enjoyed its cool satire.
