painted face

Painted face lady
Loose diamond lung
Glitter in gold
Your pianos outsung
The swift man's heel
The stubborn thread
The glue that binds
Old bone to head
In this masquerade
I promise you pain
Whether your dim
Or a wagging tongue
Sane
Chewing the shrubs
Of a swamp land in waste
A mule in heat
An awesome quest
To contradict
Those ripe impressions
Use charcoal
On bright shades with blessing
The yarn you knit
May use as rope
For its these charades
Our minds
Cannot cope
