Besmeared I see <br />Career and countenance <br />On the stony contours <br />Of her face <br /> <br />Yet beads of sweet <br />On forehead <br />And yellow <br />Of an evasive butterfly <br />On finger tips <br /> <br />Accept it <br />Some colours get stronger <br />When you rub them off <br /> <br />A mud smear <br />On that frill of frock <br />How high can you fly? <br /> <br />Beneath the loft <br />of crafty styles <br />Lies untouched <br /> <br />Tiny in-erasable <br />foot prints <br />the scent of mud <br />and butterflies <br />with colour <br />blurred out! <br /> <br />Dunkin Donuts <br />December 7,1999<br /><br />Frank Lisa IndiRa Francesca Roger Platt Cornish Martin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beneath-stone-masonry/
