Faces

I get random spouts of inspiration and creativity so I just have to write. Here’s what I wrote after some time with family in Daytona.😊

Faces.

I've never worn this face before, but my grandmother has seen it.

She tells me I look like her momma, great grandma Josephine.

I have dark skin like her, and I do not smile.

I've never worn this face before, but my cousin has seen it.

He tells me I look like auntie Mia, my mom.

I have her eyes, her freckles too, and when we laugh our cackles and screams can fill up any room.

I've never worn this face before, but the spirits seem to remember it. My grandma Flint kisses and caresses it and it makes my Uncle Ronald laugh.

I've never worn this face before and maybe I'll get to see it

because this face shows different things to different people and I'm just glad to wear it.

*got a bit lazy towards the end, but yea here ya’ll go.
