| When I had turpentined the brushes hammered lids on paint pushed my new basket of gleaming bleaches under the sink. Stowed the tins, and stopped checking my wrist for steps. I promised Myself. Promised myself I would wear lipstick. More than likely red. And. And I would wear heels. Red too. That first day when we could do “County” I wore the lipstick on the drive. Until outside Aldi. The shoes are in a box. I lift this lid and smile. They haven’t touched Earth Yet. |

I love the detail in that Siobhan. And the symbolic red. Memorable.
