You were found in the river ...
an immortal, sleeping beauty
who paid a small price.
Now, your plaster cast eyes are shut
beneath a smooth, pale forehead
and sculpted eyebrows.
You were pulled from the river …
and the case pleads murder
or some other wrong-doing
but the smile on your
child-like face says:
don’t worry, I was happy.
Resusci Anne, the most kissed
face in the world, and yet,
breathless you remain.
