Click hereYesterday, I saw an orchid
walk out of Walmart. Every day
she is a mountain of friction
plowing into an ocean of need. The sun
takes two days to drive across her
even in summer.
Her body reflects up, so her lover
told her to not make waves.
She defied him and pomped around the store.
Once I told a woman to just get in the car
and we'll drive back to your place.
The television hostess was saying,
"You don't want this under your clothes."
To avoid being intimate, she wore a device between us.
Later,
I told a friend I just pushed it in, but I was lying.
I wore a mask. I was not known to anyone,
not even to myself.

Anonymousover 17 years agoWell crafted, with a metaphor that speaks to the reader on a million different levels. Kudos to you.
LeBrozover 17 years agoAdmittedly not an easy and obvious read, is this metaphorically written piece. Is this an alt for someone we know? Or perhaps not? Reveal yourself on the Poetry Feedback & Discussion Forum. Oh and in either case, congrats on that little greenie. Finally looking at your other piece I'm surprised it also didn't get one.
