If we’re all drawing a face together
I don’t want to draw the mouth.
I’ll draw the hair —
just lines, loose and easy.
Or the eyes.
But not the lips.
The way they curve and join
and hold back
her teeth.
Don’t make me draw the lips.
I’ll draw the hair

Wow — very poignant ambivalence. Childlike, tragic, and hopeful all at once. Nicely done.
