Purpose: Getting ready in the morning can be a sensuous experience. It is the process of getting ready to meet the world and knowing that you took the time to prepare for it. For a woman, it is enhanced by the sometimes vivid colors of her makeup and the welcome drama of enhancing her face.
The Poem:
In the morning,
holding her mirror
the young woman
touches
her tender
lip with
her finger &
then with
the tip of her tongue
licks it &
smiles
& admires her
eyes.
