I create a masterpiece each day
Using different shades of grey and pale blue,
Silver, woodland caribou, burnt sienna and dusk rosee.
And everyday, it fades, until
Not a smear is visible to the naked eye.
But this does not deter,
Nor would I ever shy away
From applying make up to my face.
Ephemeral pieces by the thousands
Vanish through sweat and tears, and love,
And various states of arousal.
