Poetry

“My Makeup” by Rochelle Kraut

May 1, 2011 No Comments

This sits in the malaise that sighs in the between-beat parts of Pink’s “Get This Party Started” or Ke$ha “choose debauchery” anthems.

My Makeup
by Rochelle Kraut

on my cheeks I wear
the flush of two beers

on my eyes I use
the dark circles of sleepless nights
to great advantage

for lipstick
I wear my lips
