she
had thin pink lips
and straight white teeth
and a tongue that formed lies,
saying that she was fine.
she had cheeks
crimson with constant embarrassment.
they contrasted against
the ghostly pale
of her soft skin.
she had a crooked nose
and tiny ears
that had piercings
in every available space,
lined from top to bottom
with silver rings and studs.

he
wanted snake bites
but hed probably never
get them done
and he liked the way
her face shined
just as much as he imagined
she did inside
