She had a shoulder that was her own
a bit naked in the way its bone could be seen

Her quiet manner
evenly pressed skirts and v-neck sweaters
were picked out each and every morning

The sudden silence that teased the room of its chatter
Her legs crossed underneath the table so effortlessly
with her pale ankles like white armor,
like remnants of the frost that lingered as spring hedged forward.

She was her shoulders best friend
The one she could lay on in times of need
or expose its tender features when she romanced the nights young bachelors

A sliver of skin and nothing more
quiet until the shower head began to run
her shoulder naked, again
small, brown moles delicately scattered across her collarbone.

Sounds like a romance at a distance.  She had, or has, a definite influence on you.

Nice write, Tomer.
