Paper Mache’

I glue on paper faces

Painted paper emotions

Youthful expressions

Air brushed lines

That time erases

I look at my faces

Paper crayon images

Counterfeit impressions

Hollowed traces of me

Through bits of torn canvas

Paper-cuts in deeper places

Finding it is no longer me I see

Dog-eared moments torn away

Pages of pulp fiction

Shreds of emotions

Confetti to the masses

Recycled paper-mache’

Constructs more paper faces

excellent idea for a poem 220 and the 'paper cuts in deeper places' is perfectly placed there in the middle. Col.
