Embroidered Sleeves

By Glen Armstrong

Poetry

ASP Bulletin | July 2, 2021

< before next >

She loves how the night sky

promises nothing.

 

It just falls as powder falls,

as much by accident 

 

as by design.

Her embroidered sleeves

 

envy crows that smoke

cigars in old cartoons.

 

She sometimes wishes

that someone cared enough

 

to portray her completely wrong.

 

She loves how the night sky

promises nothing.

 

It just falls as powder falls,

as much by accident 

 

as by design.

Her embroidered sleeves

 

envy crows that smoke

cigars in old cartoons.

 

She sometimes wishes

that someone cared enough

 

to portray her completely wrong.
