Barbiegore
Venous Barbies bleed in hot pink as do
the Kens, for dolls with cute sadistic kinks —
or Serial Stacies, little sisters you
didn’t know were the bad seeds, who wink
at polyvinyl chloride able to bleed
out for their pleasure next to the rocket
ship swing sets. Blonde braids, pink bows, evil deeds
without human regrets, knives in pockets,
tap shoes on the tiniest feet announce
an arrival but exit discreet after
the final heart beat, pink brain matter bounces
off rosy linoleum floors. Laughter
eluding the detectives of Barbiecore —
the aesthetic that slays is Barbiegore.
