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"
