you wear a dress, make a mess,
compete with your surroundings to impress,
all that glitter and the base and the starch over your face,
and your hair,
Unnatural,
heels pushing you off,
your body resists the rising of your breasts,
your mouth like a crest
of a bird that reshuffles its feathers to look natural.
smile on demand,
what do hungry shutters feed on?
the blurring plight of life on the spot light,
statues standing still,
lying.

break the sacrilege,
reflect the soul,
value the jewel,
naturally
