GLAMOUR MAGIC

Dyed my hair one shade darker
            You are the only one who noticed
Started lining my eyes with black
            You asked what I was doing to my beautiful face
A lip treatment every night
            I am ready for your mouth
Lettuce          Avocados        Bananas          A variety
            of produce to tighten my waist
            You laugh at what I consider healthy
Smooth lotion over tattoos so they remain bold and bright
            You laugh at the impermanence of    it          this      you      me
Carefully select the right push-up bra, slip of underwear
            Nervous laughter about the idea of you gazing on my body
Ass and pussy, carefully shaved         Long legs        shaved             Armpits, shaved
            I am shaved
Beauty rituals
            to bring up the dead                to conjure you up
                        to conjure you up inside me
                                        my love
