They live in all the valleys of my shoulders
weighing down my skin
and they never stop pushing apart my thighs.
What if one day
the void between them becomes so
all-consuming
that my legs just disappear?
The words have become permanent residents
of a none too willing host

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
