This Mask
December 18, 2015
Up and wake
forget the hate
On to ready
Killing the light
Walk in sorrowness
Shame to pick up
spread and cover
Pick up other
Dab not dowse
Sweet cheeks of highlight
Contour the bones
Make happy the surface
with mysterious pink of blossom
Take the charcoal and hope to define
thin line of boundary
as do will
Volumize to long luminous flutters
become sassy
Red roses petal wear
and shiny pop
Stand out in gloss
Now this completes
the true honesty
of this masquerade
hidden by laughter
