Embroidered Sleeves
Poetry
ASP Bulletin | July 2, 2021
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.
