Selfie

Sunburnt skin like rose colored wallpaper with freckles spattered around like they are trying to tell you a secret. Eyebrows, a bit unruly like they might have a better place to be, settled between the tiniest widows peak and two different shaped eyes, the one on the left always seems just a tad smaller the right, possibly from always squinting with that one eye, possibly from being exactly one half Korean, who is to say? Large ears that peak around the corners of a smile as if they want to make sure they aren't forgotten. Irises seemingly flat, like pond water at first glance, but actually outlined and patterned by ridges like the grand canyon. A nose that is sometimes too flat to hold up sunglasses settled above the slightest suggestion of a cuspid's bow. Two lips to tie the whole thing together and a chin that rounds off a heart shaped face, my face, as of April eleventh two thousand and fourteen.
