A Doll

A porcelain shell, 
soft quilted limbs,
cheeks blushed 
with acrylic paint.
Synthetic hairs for lashes.
Black suede dress 
with white lace trim
& gold buttons
going down her back;
funeral attire.
Hair curly, hair coarse,
soft black, and level-headed 
like
Smoke without Stack.
White socks with a lace trim
to match the adolescent dress.
Patent leather Mary Janes
with a velcro latch.
Crafted with intention, empty
by existence.
No thoughts in her head,
a deep vastness behind 
her marble eyes.
This doll is vacant.
It speaks when it can.

I know you wonder 
What sound a doll could
make without thoughts
in her head.

*She screams.
