“Photo shoot”

Photo shoot.

Little black dress,

That clings to her skin

Like a flea hungry for blood

Dior diamonds

Sparkling on her wristwatch

Cloaked with a sadness

That lingers in her eyes.

And shows itself

By the little lines on her face

Not quite hidden

By her make-up.

Hair - stiff like a wire brush and

Glittery eyelids mirrored

By bags of the same color;

Painted lips

That cover

Her painted smile.

Every girl’s dream.
