Salt Spots

Salt Spots

It’s not funny that people wipe their glasses,
like their eyes, when they cry.
Flickings from triangled lashes dry,
otherwise, like shrunk away seas
or doggy boogers above window sills
or salt slush when the wiper fluid’s out.
Personally, I anticipate glorious results
when God polishes my soul.

  1. O yeah...I like. I love the last line--I'm going to steal it and quote it from time to time:p

  2. incidentally I also think that using "shrunk away seas" and "boogers" in lines right next to each other is pretty sweet.
