feel the hush


I've 
consumed your
image,  
sung your
papered
words,
garnered
the hush 
of your
breath 
against my
naked neck
                 you, the
                 stranger I've 
                 known but
                 never 
                 touched.

    The sound of this poem reinforces the sensuality.

    Rick,

    This is our engagement with writing!

    How I've 'known' various writers, many of them dead, but still 'vital'.

    Invisibility is very exhausting and sometimes deadly.
