Puce
it is the color, of
that which is
that unbecomes
lavendars
pop in contrast
I have designer face at last..
Deep deep purple pain beneath
and sallow bright of cannot heal
as I finally see the tones
of the shadow of cheekbone,
taunting in the gallows, deigned--
a gloss-lipped smile of beauty queen.

I'd look good upon tv...
But here?
They merely pity me.

Death looks good on camera.

(Death? It just looks good.)

I like this, but then death is an old friend.

You made the topic comfortably friendly.

Thank you for sharing this.

hey! wow!!!

thanks for "getting it"!

It's an uncomfortable thought for many, but this is kind of one those "message poems" (and I like to think they all are) just addressing that quirk of (assumed) vanity after death.

I'm touched now, by the understanding.
