Lip stick stains the flesh of the mouth The rim of a glass The side of a straw Coats the flippant strand of hair leaving little red streaks on the cheek It melts in the sun, dripping into the mouth with the taste of wax It brightens the white of the teeth and shadows the black of a bruise It compliments the eyes, those brilliant blues That cupids bow dripping red from a swollen nose burst brighter Shadows and contour that girl is on fleek That little red tube is nothing if not unique
