o, yes, that apologetic tone,
scented paper,

the red smear
of lipstick, as if brushed-over slights

gathered like crisp autumn leaves
for burning, for burning

does it really matter it was my hand cut
this proud figure down?

red smear of lipstick

would be my obsessive need to find something to critique, that maybe the image isn't as perfectly fresh as the rest of the poem. 5/5, excellent work, poet.

Wonderful writing

Really evocative and filled with sense cues for the reader. I might move "cut" to the last line though you probably considered that and wanted more emphasis on that word...Anyway it's excellent. Thank you for the read.
