Cruel reality to the ancient woman trying to stay young
Surface surgically lifted with heavy metal tools
Dig, Drill
Pull, Pile
Tug, Tuck
Fill, Fill
The lines, the scars, earned over a life – no – a millennium
Eliminating unkindnesses brought about by
Scouring shamal winds and scorching sun over a life – no – a millennium
Harsh recovery to the ancient woman trying to stay young
Deconstruction, construction, reconstruction
Stitching, Swelling
Bruising, Blackness
Discoloration, damage
Pain, Pain
Smoothness hides scars earned over a life – no – a millennium
Once untouched, concealed now by a concrete facade of beauty
But the scars remain; dryness waits to erupt
When the scouring shamal winds and the scorching sun devour again what is theirs.
