Birth of Venus

by @seazyinkwell

In go the stabs to my synthetic skin. Sew my eyes, recreate them with the charm of Rumpelstiltskin’s tricks. Stitch my lips, Color them with the scarlet of Snow White’s cursed apple. Snip my hairs, String together the golden threads of Rapunzel’s deathly charm. Stuff my breasts, Fill them with the ingredients of witches’ wildest fantasies. Mold my legs, Fit them in for the glasswork of Cinderella shoes. Tattoo my heart, make each beat a praiseworthy beauty.
