Nostalgia

By HiramDiaz

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Broken glass tiles the floor of her one bedroom/upper-eastside/housing project apartment. It's oddly reminiscent of the glowing bodiesflooding the golden concreteof a Midtown Centered/Business Birthing/Business Losing/ Ethereal, sidewalk.She sweeps up the shards of her 'husband's' personal happy hour.The label displays a woman with a bottle-shaped bodyholding a tiny replica of her self.The woman on the sticker smilessix-billion white teethof peerless beauty,inviting the woman sweeping to become another flawless tooth.
