Trimming Eyelashes
…… ……
For J.D. Harms
Forward midnight
Wrinkles o’clock
Former hairstylist
Former self
Late time, lost
Found minefield
Vapor on the mirror
Trying to pull
Trying to style
Swinging a baby
Adult’s cradle
Back in time
Cooking cucumbers
Can’t do that
Craving a cut
A lil touch
A sprinkle of gut
Hair pulling
Eyebrows fading
Life in ING
Progressive depressive
Einstein seizure of brilliance
First aid kit salad
No space for justice
Cracking codes
Looking away
Flickering lights
Actually closing opening
Eyes, legs, mouths
Too wide, to hide
Swinging a soul
Roller-toddler
Until the very end
The end of no return
Eyelashes
Hold on tight
I blink twice
In one second
Can’t miss a thing
Gotta trim
Gotta steam
Gotta train to catch
Gotta train to jump
Gotta jump to catch
Gotta a look
Gotta a look
Prince Junior
Purple tears
Deep rain
Christmas eve
Filthy music I hear
Sleep or party
How to steer
A former self
A former hair
Turned white
Turned fear
Turned near
Turned me
Turned over
Over and over
Getting over
Overcoming
It ain't over ‘til it’s over
Homecoming
Homemaking
Ownmaking
Ownbaking
Ohbabying
Ohbegging
Oh oh oh
I think I know
Now it’s time
To let go
And let it grow
Grass clipping
Me just me
Getting older
Former lifestyle
Falling hairstyle
Flailing chest
To catch a breath
But sneering
To nothing
Alive
Not needing to trim to steer to style a damn thing but being former future Whatever
Stylish soul
Future self
Funky…
