Portrait of Rage and Age poem – Amy Cavanaugh poems | Poems and Poetry

The couple stands still –
Hand-drawn
And perky like dawn.

Femininity had silently signed
The brown paper-like frame
Into her own –

Using her signature
Nail-polish-painted red rose
And almost cherry lipstick.

Age has her black hair
Up in twin buns –
Almost a couple themselves.

Rage manages –
Somehow
To sneak no peek at their youthful essence.
