OPEN STUDIO POEM #16

I’m going back to makeup. Not the kerfuffle of my youth, with eyeliner cattywumpus to each brow, not a sad attempt to erase my decades on the road. Just a streak of red on the lip, a little taupe along the lid.

Words: makeup, cattywumpus, kerfuffle, erase Since July, I’ve been attending an online Open Studio with four artists, who are now my friends. Most weeks, they give me words to use as prompts so I can practice my art while they do theirs. This week, I think they were out to get me.
