Clean Beauty

Cold

Droplets of water

Small beads

Keeping flesh fresh

Burning oxygen

Dead cells

White huffs

Mouth of snow and clouds

Thighs compact

Skin cakey

Eyes pure

Plump lips red

Irritated and punched

Tongue moist

Saliva

And biting

Pulling

And tugging

Blood

Bitter arms

Harsh words

Death whispers

"Baby it's cold outside"
