Red lipstick

A poem.

A magic spell on a blank slate

Red paint on a pale face

Ignites fire in my soul

Through the ashes, I’m someone new

Venomous beauty with limbs straight

A simple kiss leaves stains on your coat

I am a passerby in flux

Until the cantrip wears off

And I’m back to being just me
