Carnation Pink

You hold my hand,

finger by finger with so much

caution I wonder

if you care.


You paint soft

strokes of carnation pink, grasping me

harder as you tell me to stop

shaking but it’s too late,

the polish has bled into

my cuticle.


You’re angry but

so close to me

that the warmth of your palms makes

its way to my cheeks, & now

I’m blushing

another shade of pink


You’re beautiful.
