Patchwork cloud portraits
overlay an after-storm sky,
blue and gray veils
playing it safe
and hiding suspicious eyes.

Pulling the mask
from broad cheekbones,
she blots the last of her tears
and looks down on the world
wearing her heart on her sleeve,
pondering how it is
something so good at standing out
can still feel alone in a crowd.
:iconglory-be-project: Day CLOUDS AND RAINBOWS!

This is for Perfling, who requested I write something about "feeling alone in a crowd" with no rhymes.  I didn't want to go the USUAL route, soooo I took the prompt and sort of twisted it into this.
