My breath
crystallizes like rime
on the silhouette of her body,
outlining
the curve of her waist
the shadow of her clavicle
each frozen, delicate, in my mind -
a memory, shimmering.
They melt, fluid... into
fine straps falling from a shoulder
gliding down to her belly,
clinging
just an instant
at the hip
before puddling to the floor at her bare feet,
a pool of green satin
she tip-toes out of
before I can wade in.
Is it warm in here, or is it just me?
ReplyDeleteFreaking great! I guess I have the answer to my question on the above post.
ReplyDeleteDo you know Shay who comments on my stuf? Fireblossom? She writes incredible poetry. And if I were single I just might have to snap her up.
