Golden Dreams

She woke up suddenly
Covered in what looked like wet gold
Where had she been?
What had she done?
She was looking in the mirror
Watching streams of liquid gold
Run down her face
Covering her neck and breasts
Her memory slowly returned
She had come home
After she had won
The Golden Globe Award
For Best Actress
She appeared to be
Melting gold as she dialed 911
Days later, Entertainment Tonight reported
That her body was never found
Nor was her Golden Globe award
Only a pile of melted gold remained
