someone

someone has redacted me
really covered up my point of view
asks the reader or listener to the audio feed
make it up/make it up
as if a sky with one thin cloud is readable
for rain or storm or heat wave

has brushed my hair
taken all the wave and bounce within a band
and painted my eyelids
plucked my brows
not that you can tell

someone has appointed themselves
guardian/guard/jailer
of the part of me under this band
it is immaterial
someone else seeing this
makes a story and this is not the end
