TheFeathererSleep – Time, Pain, Memory
Acid-dye denim might be
bad-luck or I
simply too old for
bare legs and
shocking rinses
(who the hell buys Manic Panic Vampire Red
seeks to re-cultivate original sin
desperate in disjointed
camouflage & need to impress
someone who is not watching?)
However, the real
surprise lay in
realizing I could shed
as many tears as a teen
who would not blink
at acid-dye-denim
or remember
when high-waisted was
in fashion
the first time around
when heartbreak felt
much, much
more hopeful
even if red dye
be it 1999 or 2019
invariably ran
transforming
tears
