Karmen.
Gently frayed, silvered/greyed wiry hair
Beautiful in a residual everlasting way.
She had nerves that clink in her head like dirty forks hitting the bacteria infested sink.
Thoughts of
Spending money, of saving time-
Throbbing actualizations that we live all wrong here.
Eyes, with which, noticed
The voices hush in haste when the man who feeds their children circles the grounds.
That had seen his talons clasp and clamp tongues for an assertive second, as he throws orders to them like wet mop heads at brick walls.
She imagines a classless life…
Where tall backs didn’t step on short ones
Who stood on their tippiest, tip toe, just to see the scrapes of the same beautiful mountain as it kissed the sky.
She said she was nervous.
Her first day.
Crazy that hearts are told to beat to a rhythm of only one mans nature.
To circulate blood to extremes extreme of extremities.
That she mold, to survive.
Karmen,
So beautiful in an everlasting kind of way.
Karmen, when will be the last of being last?

I loved how I got to know Karmen without ever meeting her– beautiful descriptive actions.
Suggestion:
-Are silvered/greyed necessary together? Can one be chosen? Perhaps “silvered grey hair”.
Take care!
