In memory of a nose stud


Last week while at home I caught a cold. My nose got all stuffed up and then my nose stud got infected. I took it out for a couple of days and the hole closed up. The only way to get the stud back in is to get it pierced again. I don't have the money to do that now so I'm saying goodbye to my nose stud. Sad, but true.

Goodbye Nose Stud
You served me well
It was a rebelious act that brought you about
I'd been thinking about doing it for four or five years
and I finally did

Goodbye nose stud
You brought me compliments
and a sparkle to my nose
I felt pretty with you around
and I still am without you

Goodbye nose stud
you will be remembered forever
Sometimes it feels like you are still there
but alas, you are not
Maybe someday I'll have a new nose stud
and the happy respect with stud and nose
will be brought together again

The recommended book this time is:
Body Outlaws (Rebecca Walker and Ophira Edut)

And because it is 9/11, I'm giving my tribute to the men and women whose lives were lost in the tragedy.
