The Cloth Of Hurt Poem by Eila Mahima Jaipaul

The Cloth Of Hurt

Rating: 3.2


the mirrors reflection stares back at me
with long dark curls
a smile-less face
and searching dark eyes
carefully I turn
this way and that
at my cast reflection
I even peer back over my shoulder
to make certain
yes,
I am sure
it is indeed sadness
that sheathed me in its dress
so closely to my body it fits
my new agony wear
suggests everything it hides
leaving nothing to the imagination
