Yesterday's Makeup Poems

Aftertaste of Deception

In the

Aftertaste of

Deception,

Memory running,

Racing up my skirt

Like wind from a

Snow-blower.


Is it

Lemonade or

Wild dreaming?


Melancholy and

Bitters are running

Through the cane fields

of recollection,

Burning out the

Potential

For alluded faked

Sweets.


Excitement filled

To overflow,

With eyes that

Glittered diamonds

Around a pin point

And a poppy,

In insufficient funds.


Smoke of it all.

Reflections in

Multiples of hell.

Crushing blow of

Cranial implants

Flashing like

A neon horror film.


Addiction loses to

Recovery in the

Aftertaste of

Deception.
