What good is paper now?

August 7, 2020November 1, 2021 Alphabet Ravine3 Comments

I’ve got a list of adjectives, but you’re the poem.
Your eyes an image, your hands the parallels,
your mouth the irony, your actions so loud.

Steady as a repetition, boldness your surprise-
Me prioritized like my favorite consonants coming first,
your love wrapped around my skin like a song’s refrain.
A flannel shirt’s ink stain- My words when you’re the poem.

I love this one. It’s so creative the way you’ve described the person as all the structural details of a poem. 🙂

I smiled my way through this work. Nice job.
