Did David's wife, Bathsheba, King Solomon's wife, have a mask to remove?

And it has a very particular effect, even for as straightforward and "in your face" - but there is something so subtle and complex about it too. And it's a subterfuge-energy - directed/misdirected. <br /><br />So when I read your lines:<br />Don’t be caught dead<br />Wearing your own face<br /><br />I think oh yes, this is the absolute essence distilled right down. A high priced perfume. What a price to pay.

I especially like your line<br />"Don’t be caught dead Wearing your own face" How many women still fear this? Hopefully not us :-)Elleceehttp://elleceespoetry.blogspot.canoreply@blogger.com
