Theresa Brinson - Makeup

Laying a foundation
searching for the one
that leaves no tell-tale sign
between the cheek and neck.

Blush! Blush! Blush!
Add back the color
that I just erased.

Long and Thick
the best results from mascara
must avoid the Tammy Faye.

Then the sticky lipgloss
wet and sheer and seductive
Until a long hait comes across
sticks, and drags the color.
Makeup.
