Lipstick bleeds a trail
over rails of broken teeth
she sharpens
Painting smiles on
hardened glass
shattering past
the death reflection
draped upon a covered
skeleton
On slickened path
beauty faded fast
ghosting dreams
chase her uneven walk
she talks -
in loveâs tongues
Jaded history
leads her to
razored misery
the delicate trickle
glintz in ebony lights
scarred womb
rejects the failure
