Rough Edges
Awkward 
Edgy
Silhouette
Of a person becoming
Words pointed 
Like scrawny elbows
Protruding through
Unformed cushioned layers
Sharpened by
Opinions of others
The roundness follows
As experiences
Slice through prejudices
Eyes soften 
Words mellow
Shadows retreat
The whole
forms

Abbe has written six books, novels, essay, short stories, and a children’s illustrated book.
