are two-way streets;
they can snake out,
suck you in like a straw,
leaving only
the emptied husk
of your wrinkled skin.
A failed parachute.

Angelinealmost 11 years agoI have always wondered
if you write (or study) Eastern poetic forms because your poems are so spare and precise. This one does so much with so few words. I love poems that make every word count. And then of course, every word in this poem is true.
Great read with wonderful use of metaphor and simile. Thank you.
