Red Lipstick

A Poem

It arrives
I play

I can invent and reinvent
I can heal and spark

Joy in myself
And in others

I have always been enough
I have always been more than a catch

It is in the seeing of my being
The pop of red

A little Monroe hidden behind a book
Attraction is in me not looking

For you to look
