Notes About The Poem

Ugly Face

Ugly Face

The law,
says leave no trace, 

but the eyes. 
a hateful rag, 
that smells;
of unclean things,
of sour food, 
and drink, 
of his taste, 
and his smell, 
when he is…
done.

Cover yourself.
cover everything…
about you.
repulsion, 
resounds in the image, 
of reflection, 
uncivilized.

Cutting parts away, 
unneeded items,
lust not love, 
slavery.

What
do you
feel?

Do 
you
feel?

Gershon Wolf November 18, 2019 at 8:14 PM I imagine 'success' for this write would be leaving me disgusted at the subject of the poem. Well you sure succeeded!! Smiles, Gershon Ann Foster November 18, 2019 at 8:44 PM If I have made you "feel"...then that is a good thing... disgusted.. is okay... it was not a happy write... something about the scam I received, made me write it... odd? thank for stopping by...
