Her lopping tresses
Matched her charred grace
And led her down
To a spiral hazelverse.
Like adolescent China
Or a miniature petticoat,
She was a walking
Coincidental paradox.
Her maroon melancholy
Mixed with zigzagged formaldehyde
Led her to acid constellations
And incorrigable escape.

This poem gave me goosebumps!  I think that while everyone got a clear sense of what was going on, you left it abstract, which was really great!  The vocabulary used was amazing!
