She strips the oils
from her face
And applies the clay to canvas
Molding cheekbones
out of grounded stone
She puts her smile out
to dry
Her skin cracking like pottery
Little hands
breaking the mold
Becoming
what they said to never be
So instead they almost molded-
She recreates the scars in her skin
the foundation layered
the concrete no longer wet
