mannequin hearts
your favorite
part of me isn't
the part craving
the fragrance
of your flesh
but, rather, the
mental screwing
of talk and
verbal intercourse
that many wish
existed within the
fervency of their
sanctified
bond.
even then,
discourse is
limited:
eye stalking
and imaginary
"ex"- ray vision
become mothers
of invention.

"mental screwing of talk and verbal intercourse"... great line! Love the photo... the shoulders look (almost) real.
ReplyDeleteCheryl, this mannequin is in a window of a tile shop. It's in the "artsy" part of town, at least that's what they're trying turn it into...
DeleteOh my this is dreamy and vibrant! Your poem is enriching, but you created a stunning reflection in your photo. These are the kinds of shots that I search out all the time, and am so happy to bring back to my computer! Excellent capture!
