Concealer

She spreads luminous layers
Of bronze and beige
On her eye shadows
 
Rehearses her excuses
Of trips and falls
In her mirror
 
Mirror, mirror, on the wall
You see what she won’t show at all
 
Reflecting broken hopes
Caged in bars of twisted love
A tear in one eye
 
Grab a Kleenex
Blot it quick
Makeup unblemished
