Glove face
She wore her face like my favorite, old glove
Brown, leathery and stretchy
with the lines proving her years
like the rings around a tree.
She’d been the product of the vicious cycle of abandoned.
He who is abandoned abandons. She who abandons, abandons the abandoner within.
She will contiually fight this binary, till the end,
and until her face gives in and does the whole raisin in the sun thing
Until, she’s more disgustingly beautiful then she is now
Bustling through the street
Fixing for a new fix and making
quick scances at those who passerby.
She’s always on a mission
with her ear to the streets like she was giving CPR,
but instead,
she’s poured out like PBR
You can see it in her face.
Did I say that, I meant it.
She will move cylindrically forever,
until she’s still
Until she obeys the heavenly impulse
The heavenly umbilical to home:
Quiet.
For in the beginning
There
Was
Nothing.
