i didnt wear my earings today
and in this light my skin from my wrists
down to my fingertips
are misinterpreting my age
through the dry ridges that go deeper than
i have ever seen before
its beautiful
and i need to collect myself.
i need to realize all these things in my heart.
it goes deeper than this skin
that i never see in this kind of light
the daylight is misinterpreting its beauty.
