Thigh story (25 words, 160 characters)

His single kidney split into two.
Hissing.
Flowed on his thighs.
Yellowed.
Dried, his thighs look like the lottery ticket.
Don't eat your pretzels from it.

  9. Sounds great! But I don't understand it! Original thinking! A little gory perhaps. I'm not sure that I want to know what this poem means. Some things are best left as they are!

    Best wishes,

  10. I can always count on you for an original, thought provoking Centus. The image of the kidney splitting, hissing - really nicely done. Kat

  13. Nice work with the concrete, if unpleasant, images. It makes me feel a great sense of loss, and I marvel at your ability to say so much in so few words.

    Great post..........cj

  23. Amazing how grossed out you made so many of us in only 25 words.

    That is some well-done micro-fiction.

    Thanks for linking.
