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

Flesh Tone
by Dot

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

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!
