'red noses'
'red noses' timothy r gates, 12/16/2010
brushed up against
held close, nose against the
glass
looking mirror
smeared lipstick
dare not wash it out of my clothes
dare to try to forget the kiss
dare not sing aloud her chant
holy day, hol-i-day
special time of any year
no need for mistletoe
no need for eggnog
no need for more than an icon
open this door
first firmly grab the frame
then pull my nose from the
window
what red noses are made from.
