March 06, 2012

  I'm taking the day off from posting to go to a local bookstore and just think about writing, maybe write down a thought or two. Sometimes it's important to just live... in order to have something to write about.



Blistered Thought


There are red blisters rising up from inside my head.
They itch, they throb a doorknob dull sort of pain
that begs me to scratch at them... and of course I do.

I remember you shaved your legs once
leaving tiny cuts along your shin and
thin splinters of blonde hair in the bathtub.

Your limbs looked less like legs, more like forbidden fruits,
oddly shaped pears my tongue couldn’t help but lick
into submission.

The back of my neck grasped by your tiny hands,
you slipped your tongue between my teeth,
mine fought back with wet stabs to the inside
of your overly dry mouth. We both smiled.—rrw 3-3-12
