Oct 2014
mutton...
incandesence...
muted...
by the ravages of time.
sitting oh, so, carefully,
darned,
designer clothes.
still hauntingly beautiful,
but...
more haunted,
by beauty lost....
elegenty arrayed,
trying to hide,
sun blemished,
wrinkled, skin...
away..
behind a mask,
..of make up
and geneality,
expertly applied
conversely,
doing more to display,
than deny,
the decades of living,
that had sailed....
blithely on by.
mutton....
dressed as lamb
and mutton...
led to the slaughter
as she awaits,
the loving embrace,
of her exquisitely beautiful...
daughter.
and while she does not...
begrude
her daughter beauty....
she despises herself
and the world she
inhabits...
the world in which
beauty
is the beginning,
the middle
and the end.
an ettude or study....
no one i know....
