Eyes play tricks

Mattie Grace Levy Uncategorized

I think about how you’re a vision of my past

Ever so semi-permanent 

I’m walking down the street 

And I see a parchment-colored bullfrog 

Skin wilted thin

A parchment-colored snail 

Shocking passersby till dead from its stillness

It’s a brown napkin

Mattie Grace Levy

I'm a black woman, a classically trained oboist, a self-taught composer, and an introspective poet trying to comprehend my thoughts.
