My hand trembling
trying to keep a straight face
drawing a seam
down the back of each of my Auntie’s legs
“Keep it straight…keep it straight! ”
she’d shriek
(giggle as it tickled)
I became quite an expert
at it.
Looking over her shoulder
coquettishly
her heavily mascaraed eyes
eying my handiwork
in the mottled mirror.
Her mouth
a perfect pout
a thread of crimson
squealing:
“Good man…good man
my lovely little man! ”
“Perfect job! ”
And then off we go
to Church
& pray to
God.
