Worm Veins
Friday, June 4, 2004
Old Lady:
Her skin was translucent. Her veins standing out like blue worms sleeping under her skin. Her skin was loose, barely glued to her bones. Her face was long. Her blonde hair was already turned to old lady hay, curly and covering her head. Her neck was complicated with skin folds forming valleys and canyons. Her stomach was large—rounded like a man who drank too much.
