Korean Jane
Strange, how women of a
certain age
Rage against the
inevitable change
Choosing non- deplumes,
darkened rooms to groom
Hiding behind facial
packs and stacks of bent photos
Of who knows, holding
in her stomach that grew two
Hoping to hide,
disguise the stretching marks
These ripples, sand
patterns of snaking belly branding
Her pink oasis, totally
bereft of forgiving
Like creeping living
years, tears and unexplained fears
Of the vain, tattoo
stained, Korean Jane
Southern Cross Ermita 15th December 2011
