Lipstick

I don't know where this one came from

Smudge-proof promises
don't apply
themselves here.

...For better or for worse...

She smiles
at the image
in the cracked mirror.

...For richer or for poorer...

Lipstick is only color
that doesn't cover
the cracks
between cigarettes
and anger.

...In sickness and in health...

Deep Black
Cherry
a nice shade for
mourning

...Till death do you part...
