state of confusion

Choker

Her neck is naked.

There are no turtlenecks or scarves
hanging with the shirts,
pants and skirts
in her tidy closet.

Sheets and blankets are carefully tucked,
folded neatly to the chest,
her throat exposed.
Safe.

And a necklace?
Tantamount
to a garrote.

Glad I didn't miss this! Wonderful writing and imagery, a real sense of freedom.

.. although I must admit, I used to love those velvet chokers that were in fashion way back when. It brought attention to a
sensual part of the body too often neglected.

(smiles) This is such a beautifully descriptive poem, sweet friend, I don't know much about clothes at all but just envisioning the woman and the freedom she felt made me smile! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Corinne, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Interesting verse here... after reading it several times I still wonder what your intent truly was when writing it. I take several possible meanings from it, but would love to know what you were really thinking...

This is a very interesting piece of writing. My take on it is that "you" are liberated and speak your truth (neck is the fifth chakra--the energetic communication centre). Personally, when I feel threatened or insecure, I tend to cover my neck up which makes me feel less vulnerable, but then I am also in a shut-down state and not owning my own power.
It sounds as though you have your thoughts and life in order, and you're saying, "I am woman, hear me roar"...

I believe a choker would be tantamount to a muzzle, and you will not be silenced!

Wonderfully written!

Linda
