Just Makeup Already

Anthony Hanible

Makeup 

Thin cover 

Old hurt

Quiet blur 

We stall

Handshake

Half reach 

Half pull

Awkward beat

Small thaw

Hug

Arms lift

Walls drop

Breath steadies

We soften

Kiss

Not lips

Just peace  

A nod 

A release

Or something

That shift

That click

That hum  

We know

Just makeup already  

No pride

No spin

Just us

Saying sorry

And meaning it

    This poem gives the fell of old friends that have known each other for a long time. There has been an old hurt that has half healed. Well written
