Click hereCured meats on china plates
and salty almonds
in an etched brass bowl
Prosecco in a silver bucket
the beads of condensate
breaking her reflection
she picks an almond
and a whiff of musk
picks up an eddy
and crawls between us
I run my thumbs
over the lines that cross her wrists
souvenirs of two years
of runway lights and polite applause
on the catwalks of Milan
but that was then
six feet tall without the heels
all skin and bone and thigh gap
oozing fierce
in lace and silk cut on the bias
and this is now
standing softer and more vulnerable
naked and barefoot
on the carpet
licking salt from fingertips

UnderYourSpellalmost 11 years agoPlease don't lose the 2nd Stanza whatever anybody else says, I loved the 'whiff of musk picks up an eddy' it jumped out at me ........ maybe change a couple of words there
'she picks an almond;
a whiff of musk
picks up an eddy
that crawls between us'

twelveoonealmost 11 years agoas des, i have a problem with s2, but in reverse, don't think it's long enough. also don't think "picks' is a good word to use twice.
she picks up an almond
and the whiff of musk
pulls up as an eddy
that crawls between us
soundwise "crawls" doesn't sound quite right here, i threw in some waste words for length, but would be better if the words actually waffed
HarryHillalmost 11 years agogives the words a cadence
