The first swipe of colour, the commitment to change
The careful second, to make it look effortless
The pause
The glance
The gentle blow.
The first coat for pleasure, the casual easy flex
The fluorescence of the pigment, the pop of joy
The swiftness
The chips
The whatevs.
The second coat for finish, the gloss of intention
The depth of tone, the florid wealth
The longevity
The refinement
The assuredness.
The way it punctuates my actions, the delicate spotlight
The coffee in hand, the flick of the page
The flourish
The contrast
The moment.
The lacquered feel against my beard, against his too
The same same, but different
The masc
The femme
The free.
