Rite of Passage

Butterfly bombshell in the making
scribbles on her hand with lipsticks in
ballerina shades of bubblegum and blush;

Dreams of iridescent eyeshade wings,
baiting boys with Chapstick-flavored sins;
lollipop lips with a grenadine flush.

Pink Nouveau, Lavender Whip, Aubergine Love
shellacked on mouths in magazines
whose glossy material seductions gush
forth penetrating, leaving stains of
Red Rush.
