It will eat away at you
by vanity, etching
each time I catch a glimpse
of my reflection I am surprised by
the gray-haired fat woman with
the short hair
that fixes my glance
trying to find links between
the bodies and faces that span more
years than I care to remember

The diary
the means of love, desire, pride
a thing of beauty
your crowning glory
the consequence of beauty,
ugly and interesting
potential charms
your value to men
to women
she asked me
like the reflection, it
hardly seemed like me
physically explicit
this Venus
more feeling than sense

October 1997
