Like putty I use certain words on my face like beauty like ageless like winsome
to fill in the cracks defining lines of years it's magic incantation maybe witchcraft
I pack them on and let them work like moor mud like cucumbers like mayonnaise
Glimmer glamour glimmer glamour! Catch me in your arms once more! May my name catch in your throat again!
Close your eyes and see my face like mangoes like dove's eggs like sea foam
Glimmer glamour glimmer glamour! Change a word and change the matter! May my breasts rise in your hands again!
Call my body smooth and warm Use the words that keep me young Choose the parts of speech like lovely like goddess my sweet love
Put words in my mouth and read my lips like aching like ecstasy like melding
Glimmer glamour glimmer glamour Time is words made real with grammar Spell them, sell them, choose them well, then
Reach for me Reach for me my love Young forever
