Emotional Tangles

Karyn Indursky

Crispy strawberry blonde curls
outline her pale ivory face
as her large blue eyes shine
with splendor. Her berry lips
sing out lyrics of yearning for
the preppy guy sitting there
with black glasses and a polo
shirt worn with faded blue
Levi Jeans. Her tears trickle down
her solemn cheeks as her
emotions cry to him through
soprano notes escalating to
notes over the rainbow of
her fantastical dreams. She
strums her guitar with ease
and precision wishing she
could touch his stray brown
hair instead. Her baby blue
knit dress hums around her
in an embrace while she
fills the air with melodies
of blues mixing with jazz.
She quakes inside to feel
his hazel eyes on her for
seeing her as more than
his friend, band member, buddy.
Her fingers slowly stop
playing and her secrets remain
when he never eve sees her
for more. She sighs and runs
her hand through her hair
until her wild curls are
free unlike her internality.
Emotional tangles.
