Beauty

 

There’s something said of beauty 

As seen in ones  own naked eyes

In the mirror you hope it will lie

But does my own beauty haunt me?  


Acquired age has 

a funny way of 

Altering perceptions 

Now I wear a mask,

 but it’s , not perceived 

They come. In assorted styles  

 

It covers my nose not my eyes

Yes, protecting others from me

Six feet distancing I must be 

Isolation doesn’t help lies   

 

The world is 

in a pandemic 

And wearing

mask is mandatory 

As for my beauty , well 

That shall rest for now

 

 Cuando ya no Niebla mis gafas rosadas   

(when I no longer fog up my rosy  glasses)
