women tend to gain at least
five pounds during the
cold months.
luckily we can hide beneath
chunky sweaters, scarves, boots.
the chicago wind
causes tomato red faces,
i don't mind because
the lack of sun allows
me to hide freckles.
i don't like the way
my freckles are splattered
up-down-around my nose
like a pollack.
i wish i had perfect skin.
you know what i'm talking about,
the snow soft skin of the lilies
displayed throughout my aunt's home.
home. is it possible for people
to have more than one home?
i think i have three.
i might be imagining
like when i was young
and i would hide in my
grandmother's closet
pretending to be an orphan
on the run.
