Madame Faux

*Inspired by the painting Madame X by John Singer Sargant*

They shook their heads

a faux pas with their

disapproved shouts

A nod to supressed sleeved

dresses dropped on the

dry ground

What was she thinking

showing skin to him?

SCANDALOUS SLUT!

Go slither back in your

vain covers!

What horreur to see

a ghastly, ghost skin!

She escaped the outraged

scene a secret smirk

creeps her own phase,

she is now a one-of-kind

legendary piece,

‘What a life I will live away

from this treachery’
