who is this person with paint on her nails
this matte mahogany or merlot or maroon
making these hands look older than they have
before, the darknesses and lines made
visible by colour, a sudden flash of personality
when i scratch my hip or tie my shoes
how many years i spent trying
to keep my self intact now look
my toenails are this greyish lavender, pale
as early hillside flowers, wooly like fog
who is this woman with colour
at her limbs look how she shines & shatters
