What would you write if you were me?

Should I spell dreams, "r e a l i t y?"


Why do you hover over me at night?


I thought only birds and bats have wings.

How many rocks does it take to hold down a feather?

Don't you know the heart beats faster when stabbed by deep

eyes?


Your face is hollowpale iron.

Your fingers are blackthorn soft.

Your breath is August asphalt on Interstate Ten hot.

You surrender by attacking.

Your nipples punish me throughout the night;

repeatedly,

until, I cry out

for more!

Great lines Kathy.  You have the ability to draw pictures with your words which is excellent in a write.  I like "do you know a heart beats faster when stabbed by deep eyes." Bravo
