L'aura del Campo

Fifty years later her wrinkles still laugh [6]

Fifty years later her wrinkles still laugh

A kerfuffle would break out each time she drove up
bedazzled from chasing moonbeams and neon lights
on nights filled with scuffles o'er who'd sit beside her,
recite flowery nonsense that she'd yawned at before.

She always seemed to relish in their silliness
that followed her and her new '66 Sunbeam,
glinting racing green, making faces as she grinned
at rumpled reflections in its smooth polished paint.
