acuity of touch

hearts slump against each other
lost in the seance of love
flaming sky loiters towards them

sanguine espression dissolves

ACUITY OF TOUCH

dissolved sanguinity

flames the loitering sky

love for lost seance

breaks slumped hearts


"crying against that fur is so comforting"

  11. ahhh, loved this. Especially SANGUINE. (I read your poem and realized I left Sanguine OUT of my poem, completely.)

    Enjoyed the rhythm and pacing as well.

    Thank you!
