Painted face:
Teased hair.
Dark blue dress that swims,
Water over legs, hips, waist, breasts.
Fear, want nothing less.
Hopes, songs,
Feeling alone.
Outward mask over headless
Thrown.
Delicate doe eyes,
Red bowed lips,
Dishonest spies,
Ready hips.
Over understanding and under impressions,
Never ending,
Wanting more and meaning less,
Never find the true
One under dress.
Getting ready for prom. Don't really want to go but I have a date, a dress and got my hair done...so why not? Maybe it could be fun?

...I've had the strangest image lately of attending a prom dressed as the Red Death just to shake things up-- come in, stalk through, point menacingly to all, disappear-- but kids these days don't read Poe. Doubt they'd get it.

Hope you had fun despite all the drama.
