Beauty

.

I searched the word

All I see

Women

Faces

Smoothed

By camera

No pores

No creases

Just red lips

And smoke eyes

.

Beauty

Beauty

Beauty

.

It calls to me

A wish

A dream

To be the fairest

Of them all

To be chosen

Out of all the others

.

Beauty

Beauty

Beauty

.

I clasp my hands

Around my waist

Feel the bones

Feel the skin

Smooth with money

Eyes big

With lash

Ah

Complete

.

Beauty

Beauty

Beauty

.

I mutter

Gasp

As I fall
