The boy who wears makeup by Danielle Moles

Night-time on daylight sky
onto eye
lid
he grips
her free hands
as she applies
wise on the standards
of society
she
carefully draws onto the lid
a thin
black
line
and wing
she applies his lipstick
as he trembles

He opens his eyes
realising
he quite likes it.
