Talcum powder
And water
And a few
Other things
Something pink
Smoothed onto
My innocent cheek
Like a mask
Fancy
The sneaking
Into your closet
The blouse
Falling off my shoulder
High-heeled stumble
I’ll understand this
When I’m older
The curiosity
Testing borders
Pushing limits
It’s always been
In me
This glimmering
