[RiverNotch]

eyebags (the morning after prom)



weeks taken
toll, o beautiful
morning once a face
owned -- worn took, when once
before love, God's labor
was all around
and said:
                let it not that i
                only from a distance touched
                another, long before i've touched
                another, locked in struggle
                loved -- 
                             and cracks upon the mirror,
                             tears upon the over not.
