On the couch thinking, thinking him craving his wake, his motion under my eyes that he listened, dusting lightly with inquiries the sandstorm from my mind until the idea -- simple, single thought: flashing worry -- was birthed from my mouth whole and alive: seen. warmth: talking a fire down to embers ‘till I felt worthy and watched and sigh because I’ve never laughed with abandon, with total honesty, down to the soft curve of my belly, shaking with the trickling giggle of a tickled child and, now, I can’t stop... I feel 16, testing teasing waters, swallowing my heart back into my chest when a hand brushes, when we're snuggled against the loveseat: the kiss of knees... and lying here, head to shoulder, the contrast of skin the front whirling focus of my mind: comfortable and thrilled... the request sometimes places a toe to my tongue and pulls back: “can I hold you? just hold you...” but wait, because I crave the anticipation... and how we hang here like a question, rounded, a lilt to the end, smiling and suggesting all the answers [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Cor (05-01-2002 06:12 PM).] |

I'd like to wear this poem like a slowly unravelling blanket. God, that's good stuff. |

Very enjoyable Ms. I see the fresh Oregon atmosphere has invigorated you. Your long absence from posting anything demanded a superiour effort and this certainly delivered.  Jps. feeling 16 can't be that great a stretch being as you aren't all that far removed from it.---heh There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |
