Miss Artifice

black nail varnish
is all underneath
under hot red
sexy red
firecracker

I
Tabasco hairtip
to toetip an unnatural
red to wear
like bones like skin

I’m
blessed
cascade pirouette
butterfly catches
cling ching how
high how fast
magic    choreographed

I
combustible
in chemical red
highest fastest
mesmerise
ultimate witchery
climactic

Miss Artifice

I

bow
is all
