Their eyes were hidden
Behind unflattering clumps
Of Revlon Luxurious Length
Mascara
Behind unnaturally tinted
Contact lenses
With every blink, tiny clumps
Shook loose from
Each exaggerated lash,
Falling snuggly into the
Whites of their eyes
And their eyes turned
Red
- No more fake baby blue
Sunshiny days
- Just red spider webs
etched on the fabrics
of their skies.
