She use to wear her skirt
a bit down towards the legs
of a small castle pitted
between the lagoon of the forest
and the restless leaves that scattered

Pressed against her skin
ivory,
wind to settled eyelashes
wrapped around her wrists
bands of gold
With a small scar pressed
alongside her face
indebted in the right side of her cheek
like the small window she use to speak to
when her feet ran cold next to the fireplace

The girl under the small road
where the jazz played blues
streamed through the smokey dust
as she pressed her nose
against the frozen cold

As her skin turned to the soft kilt of her mothers carpet
she took each top corner as she stretched herself
until her hair became a bit longer,
her legs a bit softer,
and between each breath,
a woman was born under the star studded coast
of the nights crest

For night begged dawn to rise
death praised life to shine
and a girls slight body
became the sequence of time
until her mothers black heels
felt the small shift of another woman's feet slide inside.

HI Tomer, I so enjoy reading you.  Your poetry evolves in such a unique way.  
It becomes almost life like, and the emotion is felt keenly.

Always my pleasure~

Enjoyed. It brought back memories of wearing my mothers high heels when I was little. Especially on Sunday when we went to church I liked wearing her heels and nylon stockings.
