Contrary to popular belief, I’m not a bug, at least, not a common pest like moths or ladybugs, or god forbid spiders. I’m graceful, or as graceful as your children’s book describes me, and I have class.

How would you explain things

To someone who was born unknowing? Unseeing?

How to describe a net?

Its many holes hold you up,

Prevent you from falling.

But they are holes that catch your fall.

Purple dress

bead necklace

pale skin

Lady holds Ermine

muscled legs

pointy nose

Lady holds Ermine

big hands

strong but gentle

Lady holds Ermine

She dreamed she could fly

way off into the big blue sky.

All she really wanted

was to leave her worries behind

soar like a hawk

or maybe a dove.

Somedays she was a hawk

and others a mourning dove.

One day I will be old

As I grow my skin will crease and stretch until you can no longer tell it was ever smooth

Freckles will engulf my skin
