My Nose


somebody once told me

the parts of your body you hate


are actually little gifts

bestowed upon you

by your ancestors


now, I tolerate my nose

just like my father’s

and decorate it with a silver ring

instead of clothes pegs

  1. Love the image of the little pegs and the idea that we can decorate the special gifts of your ancestors be they physical or personality traits.
