Light flutters
Over your face
Like dusty
Moths’ wings
Disappearing
Into the darkness
That wraps its
Itchy cloak
Around scratchy
Eyes
Stoic stubble
Forgotten for days
Rises up
Razor- less and undefeated
It crazes the mirror
Into a thousand
Careless gazes
That stare blankly,
Dumb to the words
On paper,
Devoid of meaning.
