A Woman of a Certain Age

"To wipe away glossy apologies and 
wear no like the fiery red lip that it is."
I ADORE this line.
 I want to hug it tightly, 
throw my head back, and 
howl with glee.

From "dripping peach to zested lemon"? 
I'm ok with that. 
As I'm ok with "scalding when swallowed";
especially if its the truth after a gluttony of lies.

Making the world sputter and choke on the secrets 
I'm no longer keeping?
Hmmm...I think I'll keep some of my secrets for the time being.

"Burning the script is an option".
"Forgetting the whole damn story" is not.

However,
"exposing the well-guarded truth 
that youth does not equal beauty"?
That's the sweetest exposition of all.

"Diving headfirst into my own desire" is 
ridiculously appealing however,
these days, there's a need and a duty
for protecting and preserving
dignity and decency...
figuring out how to merge the two
is the bull's eye of my days.

So, my friends and comrades...
"wipe away your glossy apologies
and wear no like the fiery red lip that it is"!!

We're in this together!
Namaste'
