I’ll draw the hair – Cecil Vortex

If we’re all drawing a face together
I don’t want to draw the mouth.
I’ll draw the hair —
just lines, loose and easy.
Or the eyes.
But not the lips.
The way they curve and join
and hold back
her teeth.
Don’t make me draw the lips.

Wow — very poignant ambivalence. Childlike, tragic, and hopeful all at once. Nicely done.
