It starts with grind
and ends in polish
Gritty, roughness dryly cuts while
shiny-clever lubricating endearments
distract from abrasion
Wince turns to gasp
Steady slip smooth persistance
rubs fine - finer - finest - finishing
Exposing me, stroke by stroke
layer by layer, laying me bare
Blowing my dust
Provoking my lustre
Revealing my gloss
Making me vulnerable
where I used to be robust
Caressing the shine
Until I'm his mirror
