Give me your feedback!! I’d love to hear from you!!!
Blue marks on your Body
letters and eyes Deep holes,
numbers curled,
Frowning
where the skin has sagged;
hanging loose Like old cloth So pale
Underneath
the make up
I touch your hands (Almost lifeless I have never seen them so still)
And they are so
Warm; Wreathed
Signs; Some familiar Some not
Like the cobalt hands of Hollywood aliens
How long has it been?
Twen…
ty…
two years.
Days and weeks and months -Lightning flashes
For all I can see is you- your hands Bright white
Almost
girlish;
I loved them
What have you become

Well, my feedback is that I quite love this. Probably at first because I empathize, but also because it is paced and styled so nicely. I will have a look at your web site and see what you’re doing there.
