A supple Sunday touch:
Hot skin reconnaissance and
the time for miscellany;
Your soft-spoken nothings
are sweated sweet—
Your suppressed laughter
and the shadow of a smile
are pressed on lips atremble—
A patch of rough skin:
an abrasion of now—
The breath-brush about my ear stirs life and limb,
and confuses the silence of twenty years
without him

Just your average Lover of Life, admirer of Humanity, reveler in Beauty, jazz singer, literary sojourner, hopeless academic, nineteenth century-obsessed kinda gal. I'm trying to inspire a silent moment of self-reflection.
Cheers,
