Making up

She sits on a wrinkled stool afront a scratched mirror, stirring admix 

Lather to visage affixes

Wetting bristles circling China soapdish

Blue and white spilled ink Irish sky miniature pictures of oriental temples, where stricture-bound monks, enrolled since infancy by orphandom, live structured lives away from potential criminal elements, awaiting happy endings, lending alms and begging them from those plentiful

Face whitens pale paste white when she dies lying, slept by murderous lullabies

Waxen apple carapace shine to her face

Like porcelain glaze, glass grapes would not break in her mouth 

Gaze arresting

Latest crazes grace her kissing gears 

Takes years off 

Argent unguent applied targets aging, pungent unlidded

All rage out foreign massaged into skin’s pores, poor skin flooded scented oils

Bottled scents, essences inessential oil

Smooth out wrinkled skin’s many crenellations
