this morning my mourning hands love nothing but instructions

begin their journey towards a beautiful me in makeup

belief is a necessity no masters are afraid of

Summary

The poem moves through a quiet morning ritual: someone putting on makeup. The pun on "this morning" and "my mourning" turns an ordinary routine into something heavier, as if the speaker is grieving even while getting ready.
