your skin,
stretched over your nose,
your high cheekbones
and shallow eye sockets
your lips,
stretched thin,
turned pale over the years
lipstick (lip gloss, tinted lip balm
called “rock star”)
you said
it’s young person’s make-up
your hair,
brittle and gray
smelling of
green apples and coconut
(drugstore shampoo)
your voice,
flat,
cold,
I’m not sure
how you got to be like this
and I don’t really
want to know

I always used to do that. Did you know that you can request to get email notifications when a poet you like posts something? It's pretty cool! Then you never miss out on their poetry. I do that with a lot of my favorite poets on here.
