Poem for my Eyebrows
by Nikki Kershner
This is a poem for my eyebrows.
Those things on the ridge of my face
That my mother used to call the picture frames for my eyes—
I’m sorry I hated you.
I used words like ugly and mannish and bushy
When I should have said things like,
Dignified and stately and powerful.
You grow in and up and down and towards each other,
Like lovers trying to hold hands across a chasm.
I’m sorry I listened when girls pointed—
Their ridicule should have been awe.
You’re dark and defining,
As striking as a mountain peak,
Twin slashes of onyx.
My mother was right
When she told me you were beautiful.
I’m sorry it took so long for me to believe her.
