Cracks In the Facade

` Weathered this ancient brick of crimson stare Lines like abstract graffiti Painted on emotions Openings glazed over in tempered glass Curtains frayed in disbelief Aging sashes crossing Deeply formed jagged cracks in the facade Curves drag down distorted flesh The mirror does not lie 11/29/19 Written for: Pick A Title, Vol 11 - Kimo(3 Stanzas) - Poetry Contest Sponsor: Edward Ibeh
