Lady
smeared shadow
runaway rouge
red ring mouth
slight arch of brow
corner of her lips curl
eyes the image
lit up like a tree
yards of blue satin
way past the knee
small soles swimming
in too high a heel
polished toe to nail
fingers all a ring
jangled jewels
floral scent
white gloves
wild hair
tamed by
a wide brim
ribbons and pearls
it’s good to be a girl
