The girls in the margins of my notebooks

The girls in the margins of my notebooks 
Have eyelashes like flames
Hooked noses
Eyeliner
Dimples
Big, curvaceous lips.

Some have freckles
Others, piercings 
A few with teeth.

Some have necks
Chokers and shoulders
Cleavage and diamonds

But all of them
Stare at me
With the same hand drawn eyes
That say,

I
Know 
You.
