Creme Caramel Benjamin Moore OC-84



The smell of wet dirt



and freshly cut grass



perfumed the air



Mud,



stuck to my cleates



like a mother,



re-united with her child,



after years apart.






I jogged to the



greenish



blackish



car,



and opened



the door



the smooth,



light,



creme caramel,



colored leather seats



invited you to take a seat.






I jumped in



my cleates,



scratched,



scratched the once



powerful,



beutiful,



delightful leather,



now



now,



it had still wet mud



on the dashboard.






Mother approached



laughing,



smiling



not knowing



that her child had been



wounded.






When she saw it



Her firey eyes stared at me,



like a hawk



staring at its prey.



Those firey eyes



had a million emotions.






Wounds



can be healed,



but scars



stay forever...
