Perfumed and powdered
wind-up doll,
sparkling like a drag queen,
puffy lips painted see-me red.
You stroll the promenade
with limping animation,
as if a world turning on misery
has made your step unsteady.
You pause beneath stark lights,
illuminating young eyes dulled
by ancient resignation,
cold night shadows dragging
vertical lines down your face
like suicide slashes.

Your choice of words really paints a vivid picture.
