Under The Knife

Armand Hemsley

 

A perfect face

Contoured from the base

To the brow

 

Faint red-pink lips

Poised for the

Kiss

 

Neither a pointed edge

Nor a rounded dome

A synthesised nose

 

A soft welcoming

Glare with a glossy

Gleam of blue

 

Made to hear

Made to stare

Both sides in symmetry

 

A small curve

Of pure blonde

Meeting at the crown

 

Smoothed skin

With invisible pores

Concealing the truth
