No Waffle Substitutions

 
Faeries wear make-up…

so much make-up

you wouldn’t believe

–until she does–

how essential the

ruse to rose is

(and rows)

of

pixie dust powders,

i shadows,

& masked airs are just the beginning…

(the ones up’on the shelf, there)

as lip pencil is de rigueur

2

working wand-erfully well

with lips stuck &

transcribing better than any

recorder

–doubling up

as first blush

~in a pinch~

(a cheeky pinch)

though a Faerie wouldn’t dream

of leaving house without

foundation,

either

(it makes her toes curl)

since foundation

is the very

basis–

the all around

stasis

of

magic concealer.
