Blazon
after Paul Klee’s “precision” drawings (1927)
how little the whorls
of a star’s ears
have to do with celebrity
only so prominent
the nose
is the perfect tease
the philtrum
an evocative hollow
for enhancing the mouth
the full lips
lipsticked with promise
fulfilling itself
those large peerless eyes
with the eyebrows lined just so
proposing yes
let’s make believe
nothing’s so becoming
as make believe
