Body

Wednesday, August 12, 2009
Again, a rough draft. Still working on this one.

hips

mouth

thigh bone

your heavy breasts- long and pomelo shaped
brown-tipped

Your neat nails, and

the stubble on the back of your calf
it always grows there first

the darkness inside your elbow

the tiny v of hair at the nape of your neck

your hands so long, so white, so faded
scrubbed
with open cuticles and bluing veins

tiny pink pimples on the top of your leg
red spots of capillaries burst on your shoulder

the natural arch at the end of your eyebrow
the unnatural thinness of the beginning

your sun-peeled nose
your mouth your ears
pierced clean

your heart.
steady.
warm.
through the pulse at your wrist
licking at the base of your throat
scratching your chest
a throb at your temple
hidden in the redness of your
eyelids

careening wildly
when I press your toes

Sensuality I felt
I can't control myself
Have to call my wife
And tell her she's my life

I also read the jack fruit... your theme is REALISM. Just go on making masterpieces.
