Manicured Air


MANICURED AIR

The fingernails of the air
Was manicured
By a woman
Speaking the language of lies.

The fingernails of the air
Became identical
With the woman
Speaking the fashionable words.

The speaker did not have a profile,
The speaker did not have a shape,
The speaker was the words she spoke.
