Beauty Skulks<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Beauty skulks a bout
\nContent to live on the fringe
\nBeyond the frayed
\nGently weaving our story
\nIn the margins
\nNot lured buy the bait and switch
\nOf the spot light
\nRather bathed in that savory light
\nIlluminating awe that is homme
\nInundated by the common scents
\nOf the streets
\nLeapfrogging that in trance
\nOf the fragrants
\nAbiding the seats of power
\nAnd voiding
\nThat too effaced ruse
\nWith back to beauty
\nWe live in plays
\nWithout fences robbing us
\nOur soul boarder
\nCultivating hope
\nGrowing peace
\nAnd harvesting just us<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
