just a passing glance, can you place me
do you feel me when you're sleeping
reaching out to you while dreaming
could you spot me in the crowd
could you spot me

Powder

powder on her face
powder on her nose
she takes her powder
wherever she goes
powder for fun thrills
powder for cheap thrills
powder for fast thrills

powder and shattered glass
now litter the floor

fair skin sprinkled with freckles
a natural resistance to tanning
one mole on the left side of her nose

a dark brown with an immunity to even the strongest of hair dyes
brown almond shaped eyes
framed by straight lashes
that remain stubbornly so
and unwanted full lips
that she never knows quite what to do with

lacy shadows litter the dusty ground
we make no apologies for our dirty feet
squatting in cut off jeans and faded shirts
listening to the wind sing rustling lullabies
as it dances between towering bamboo stalks
