Beauty as a self-defense mechanism: hair done down

And lo! I am younger again.
I mean beautiful. The prominent
Forehead eclipsed by the mirage
Of beauty;
ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ A dozen
Beauty apps now, filters to snap
That momentary heavy hand
Over time, to keep
It as a souvenir of what have been.

My Venus aligned in all the Taurean
Stars, this venus is at home, I mean
This beauty is cornucopian,
Never depleting.

ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ Freeze me to death in it
ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤplease.
