self-portrait ~ 1985/age 15
round, blue eyes
surrounded by full cheeks
dusted with freckles
the big, pink mouth
the vision is greyed with
fear; uncertainty
colorful blonde feathers
fan my face
cover what I do not want to be seen
I hide
in loose clothing
I hide
grey emotion
not ready for acceptance
not ready for rejection
I'm not ready, I'm not ready yet.
flower in the winter
I close, wait for the sun.
