Revenge In Lavender

Scrunched down in an overstuffed chair, chin in palms,
I watched a tube of lipstick roll out of her purse.
The partygoers laughed and schmoozed, talked and ate,
came and went. I couldn't look away from that silver roll
containing the color of the kiss that she smeared on him.
I couldn't look away from the spot it rested between a table
leg and a crinkle in the carpet. I couldn't look away until
she walked off without something that belonged to her.
