Do you remember the first piece? Did it wrap around wrists, a Twist or Curb hug fingers or hang round your neck holding on  for silver or gold? Maybe it was gunshot through ear lobes  hot blood rush, diamond studs sit in until  body heals and holes held open stay open for hoops and dangles  Is it worth your face in gold? Does he bling too, that black boyfriend? Is he Bead or Box or Byzantine chain blazing bronze or phat platinum Did you two star gaze for long at rocks and stones and coins stunned and dazed in all that tomfoolery? Did you ever put his glitter on and how long did that ice last before melting down to a memory? What would it mean to leave the house naked no sequinned cloak covering  no shiny ear lobed shimmering's  no solid gold hood hangings wearing just your skin to hold yourself in? Cloth does not count, it is matterless–  would you be worth your face without gold?
