ingenue

t.v. dinners
painting landscapes with a mascara wand
dry martini resting between fingertips
spokesmodel for the revolution
content to lie on the couch
content to lie.
writing poetry with eyeliner
slit my wrists with lipstick
waiting for the swan song
settling for a swan dive
falling deep into dinner dates and coffee conversations
shutting up and turning to stone under your Medusa stare. 04/11/2009 Posted on 04/12/2009

content to lie"....I don't know why they struck me, but I'm in awe. |
