We used to be like sharks
at sephora
enjoying the high
blood and lipstick all strewn about

then there was the long white leather jacket
with the flowers and
the pink leather boots

I can’t even remember what I got.

The old things don’t work anymore.
The Japanese objects
the sparkles
the blue hair woven into my own.

I have drwers filled with make-up and beauty stuff
some so special that they have dried up, never been used

Now I don’t need all of that
I have too much as it is,
what I crave now is
clean water, time to ponder…
something inspiring and real

I don’t want my life to dry up, never been used.
