THE PICTURE OF DONALL GREY
My face distorted
in a tea spoon
( much more the real one
that I feel )
than the me
I am.
I hide this real me
under my palm.
I can feel it
biting into my flesh
refusing to be
hidden.
Reality takes a step
...back.
I pour a cup of tea.
Earl Grey in a China blue cup.
No sugar.
Slice of lemon.
And taking the spoon
from under my palm
drown the real me
in the lemon'd tea.
I smile falsely & hope
no one else noticed.
