Gray eyes Sometimes blue Sometimes green Mostly slate, no phyllite Sometimes schist And sometimes, when all other hope is gone Shale Crooked nose Broken, bloodied Put a band-aid on it It's still proud Proof of heritage and blood High cheekbones Finely sculpted Match the proud nose Thin lips Pink, not red Set in a straight line Seldom smiling Sometimes laughing Broad shoulders Strong arms A chest that contains a heavy heart Pianists fingers Long and slender Nimble Quick Bound by a ring on the left hand Scars Powerful legs Sprinters feet Bad knees Scars Things in between Head and feet Don't quite belong But over time Are no longer noticed See the soul Not the body Live happily
