Smudges

It is not unusual for people for get smudged while running away from their own day. Here is my Smudged poem.
28 to Create, Day 23 – Smudges

***
Smudges
left on my cheek
or on my left arm
that brushed against the dusty wall
when I hurried round the corner
to run away
unseen.

Smudges woke me
tingling on my forehead
making me aware
and uncomfortable,
feeling dirty
and stale
for the dust
I brushed off that corner.

The corner that helped me
hide from embarrassment.
