Flash 55 Friday


Flash 55 Friday!


Like blades of grass under the blanket
upon which your mind reclines with a poem:
like pulling a guitar string to elevate the pitch
higher to match your scalding fever:
like Carmen’s tango dip,

trusting her partner’s thrusting arm
bridging the vulnerable arch of her back:

Bend, do not break.

  8. Wonderful verse. I'm yet to fully understand the thought behind it, verse in 55 words, is that it? Pardon my ignorance.
