She's in the
flourescent bathroom,
dabbing on fake skin
a little darker than
...
Standing on the edge
Of the cliff
Looking down at Rough River Lake
From 30 ft up…
...
When the wind blows through the corn
think of me
and of the summers by the lake
my hair bleached by the sun
...
I am just a girl approaching 30.)
Beauty
She's in the
flourescent bathroom,
dabbing on fake skin
a little darker than
her own.
Outlining her hazel
eyes
Cleopatra-like,
Pouting and plastering
a potion
from a silver tube
on her lips.
She looks down at me
looking up at her and
smiles.
I wonder how
I will ever learn
to be beautiful.
