The Face of Major Changes (Major Work in Progress)A Poem by Arly Parent
Cold cream and acetone...
the recipe for stripping away faces poured(sit?) in her sink For the first time in a long time there's a short time, where she'll think about the last time she caught her true reflection in that bathroom sink: She was cold, that day in hell the birds were hardly chirping the cars were slogging through the snow and the streetlights were barely working > Stuff > Goes > Here > But I haven't thought of it yet >>>>>>Possible ending There have been failures since then as is the course of all change but now there is hope as she looks back at the door for beyond it, she knows, lies the other girl's shadows mangled on the floor (end?) Looking down into the sink she see the face stripped off swirling slowly about the time has come to make a choice to let the unplug the drain and let the past seep out.
