my yin, my yang my push, my pull my hard, my soft my strong, my weak my brave, my fear my mean, my kind my loud, my quiet my fierce, my fragile my then, my now my fight, my dance my me you see my me i keep
Muscles taut not tense the skin smooth and forgiving reaching out to you to me and back we grasp and reach no strain our bodies in opposition yet touching
knowing you knowing me we react reflect flesh on flesh sinew to muscle to bone counterbalance counter connect correct encircle
we ask why or not we wonder why or not if I let go will you if you let go will I
if we hold on for how long balance in relation temperatures cool and rise and cool again skin on skin muscle feeds muscle tones connect begin again
Dot, this is beautiful and strong. I tried to say which line or stanza I found most striking or impactful, but I really like the whole piece. A big wow!
I have a submissions calendar page. These are culled from P&W, Duotrope, CRWOPPS, emails and friends. Feel free to add the Google calendar in its entirety to your calendar or add specific events.

Flesh Tone

Muscles taut not tense
the skin smooth and forgiving
reaching out to you to me and back
we grasp and reach no strain
our bodies in opposition yet touching
knowing you knowing me we react
reflect
flesh on flesh sinew to muscle to bone
counterbalance counter
connect correct
encircle
we ask why or not
we wonder why
or not
if I let go
will you
if you let go
will I
if we hold on
for how long
balance in relation
temperatures cool and rise
and cool again
skin on skin
muscle feeds muscle
tones connect
begin
again
skin to skin
feet naked
