Literature Text

The lipstick stain on the rim
Of the glass matches
The last sip of wine swirling
In its vitreous cage.
She always leaves a
Sacrifice for the gods
To make her drink less,
Or more, so she can forget.
Her smile has turned bitter
Like the remains of wine
In so many emptied glasses,
And she knows her body,
Dressed in ferment,
Matches her soul,
Dressed in despair.
This is my entry for Lissomer's colour contest: fav.me/d7sr7ir
(I hope what I did counts.)

Good luck on the contest! I entered as well! I believe what you wrote should definitely be more than acceptable for the contest. You've got some nice ideas in this poem!~
