portrait of a fickle mirror
side a.]
eye of a bird, camel lashes
grapefruit around the jaw
cherry at the cheekbone
skin melts off once an hour
strawberry seeds
should glow pink, glows green
swollen ear piercing
side b.]
valley under the eye
eyebrows like cherub arrows
thin lip, thick lip
tears and wax and
scar down the bird beak
geometrical chin
so much hair, people say
