07
My hair, with its sheep coils
Submerged in dark oils
Never to unravel, in its threatening form
Protecting itself from ivory storms
My crown, never to be shaken
My skin, mimicked by surroundings mirrors
Used by lands beyond my own
Soil I had never known
My nose, oh my nose
Tainted by the tongue and thrown to the ground
Oh, how my nose stirs more anger than my crown
My life, bits and pieces torn off for use
Used only when needed, never fully worn
Like a half-top, still showing some skin
My hair, my crown, my skin, my nose.
Used only when needed, never fully worn.
