Natural, Unnaturally

The angles of the face, They fall However naturally They fall Slanting across our cheeks Lips and Chin And it falls Upon us to re-shape them to Rewrite our version of Natural, Unnaturally with powders once of The forests the trees but not from Now from Bright lights and judgement eyes The lips they Pout they Smile they Kiss they Are painted with red wine and Broken sunsets and Holographic metals of the earth. To look like a sprite placed Amists all this dust, Naturally here But only never Unnaturally there. The lashes they are lengthened and Darkened Khol black surrounds the eyes Awaken a vibrancy always there The hair Bleached and burnished a shade from Reality Ruby reds Turquoise greens and false Yellows, false Happiness because It’s not bought at A cosmetic store the Compliments Are.
