Mona Lisa
March 7, 2014
She speaks, yet she says nothing
A mystery unraveled beneath her smile
An artwork, like an unsolved case
She’s poised; of this there’s no denial
Her eyelids plunge in,
Dark shadows above her eyes
The grainy texture of her cracked skin,
Like a porcelain doll in disguise
Her thin curls bounce off her shoulders,
Taking on a life of their own
Her protruding cheeks
Underlined by her caved in bone
Mountains fade into the distance
Covered by a dark, yellow sky
A beam of light shines onto her face,
Never bright enough to show what she hides
