close-up of a silk scarf
my skin is silk,
supple, slubby in the right
places, pink as a promise,
holding me together,
sun bronzing me into
goddess status not statue
nor statute. Liquid in love
and light, reflecting:
razzle-dazzle shimmering shimmy,
shameless hipquakes, interior walls
trembling into the foundation
of passion, molten lovecrumbs
smearing the sheets, faces
bodies glowing, anointed
into limbless limpid lucidity,
luxurious luster of love.
About the Creator
Harper Lewis
I'm a weirdo nerd who’s extremely subversive. I like rocks, incense, and witchy stuff. Intrusive rhyme bothers me. Some of my fiction might have provoked divorce proceedings in another state.😈
