Friday 55-Skin Hunger



As the sun's first rays warm my face
I roll into your arms.
I feel your chest press my back,
your breath on my neck.
Your hand slides
from my hip
to cup my breast.I wriggle closer to you,
tangle my feet with yours.

The alarm jolts me.
I awake shivering...
alone.

    You used to write these often.
    I'm so glad you remembered how, although it's a bit sad....

  5. Heck of a nice poem, even if a melancholy ending.

  6. Nice poem; very evocative. But the ending is just too terribly sad; the communion isn't supposed to end empty. . .

  10. What a gift to have knowledge of such a love.... I've come back to this several times today to read again.... I once knew such a love...

  11. While perhaps more subtle, stealthy, subliminal (not to be confused with "sub-Lime-inal"!), surreptitious, and slowly-presenting than the more conventional form of starvation, skin hunger is no less pervasive, pernicious, punishing, and (ultimately) lethal (to physical, mental, and emotional health)! I'm so sorry you're being deprived of such a basic human need and entitlement, Lady Lime! (Sighhhhh...>

  12. Whether writing of others' customs, presenting the mundane in an interesting way, writing of food or community, you always tug at some core we all can relate to. You're a wonderful writer, and this 55 cuts marrow-deep.

  20. Well this just makes me sad.... and a little horny.

    Just wanted to let you know I'm back to blogging... It's taken me most of the day to get a post up so it's not like a duck to water thing, just in case you were wondering. :-)
