Smiling Shade Woman
March 7, 2011
She is blue feather earrings
and candy floss lips
she is glowing eyes
and a sly smile that says,"
I know you
" and the pink peek of an ear
behind thick hair
she is a leaping dash
of stardust
pulled from the sky to rouge her cheeks
She is 76 degrees Fahrenheit (perfect)
and crushed ice tea
and laughter slipping behind a curtain:
Laertes's father's daughter
She is my mother
she is my aunt
she is my sister
she is my teacher
she is me
