ReplyDeletelovely post!!
ReplyDeleteYour second poem reminded me of the woman I saw the other day on the ferry putting on her make-up. Since I used to live in LA, I always saw women doing it in the car, but that was the first time I saw it on a crowded ferry.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your take on various masks especially the second one. Someone looks very relaxed on the comforter.
ReplyDeleteMasks in all its uses and goodness! How nice, Carol!
