Flexible arms fixed to brackets
swing heatless light into place; flower-heads droop and fall.
A suite of metal and plastic.
Her face expressionless as a plastic
doll, a woman braced from a sturdier bracket;
floodlit, her limp limbs fall
in quietus by her side. The body falls
into warm arms; a heavy-duty plastic
cord slips from round her neck. Open bracket
close bracket. Rise and fall of a pulse; plastic surgery.
