The beauty as it smoothed....nicely put even if I don't totally get it. lol But when you mentioned about the colors tinting the face blue, I kind of cracked up. I know you didn't mean it that way, but if a face is blue I'm thinking someone is dead , choking to death or suffocating.

I don't think of 'pop' as thunderous, and when you said 'pop' boomed...it didn't seem to go together.

The other person didn't react to what scared everyone else made me think the person was cold and unfeeling. Then you said the face was stern and that the stern face was beauty.

This was a very intriguing poem, contradictions of negativity and positivity. Very intriguing indeed. Thanks for sharing.
