The forward-looking woman
fears a growing old
the face requires
ear
neck
hairline
scraped back
made firm and
carapacic
to the touch
hard focused
to the post
incisored eye
itself deflated of
excess
fat
skin
above
below
smoothed
filled
to a stillness
that surrounds
lips cold kissed
from retreat
they slowly speak
how the beauty is
this treatment leaves
no scars
no side effects.
