every few minutes she's rubbing lavender gloss on her pale lips

every few minutes her lips tingle and gape and she brings them her pen

and breathes deeply inside herself and deeply outside herself

a foggy mist dripping like a waterfall from her lavender lips

her face shatters a little and she smiles

her mirror fogs as she breathes deeply outside herself 

she touches her mist and smiles again and as the mist fades she frowns 

she breathes again and smiles again
