How love is made

Poem | Jody's Notes

 

Curve of leg, shoulder

exposed. Later an open window

shedding light like treasure.

Odd how this says so much,

so clearly.

 

Emotion is translucent, bathed regularly

in human skin: it wastes no

opportunity to pull up the dark,

disinter the blinded sense organ,

demand a report.

 

If things go well

our lips are sealed regularly.
