Luminous

the light shows
through you as dusk
when you arch
bat-sudden beneath
my palms:
let them bring you
to that longing shape
easy as blood

This is the other half of the poem I wrote as part of last week’s Friday Night Lights Project… it was a ‘together and apart’ piece, so thought I would post this here to provide the other viewpoint.

  1. Oooo! Toes extended!

    Had forgotten how you make words seems like oils dripping off my skin, nourishing cells, all sensual.

    It was a bit of a thing heading back to find the other part but I did, and the two posts have good chemistry.

    They are two separate notions, one commenting on the other, circling – ying and yang – I’d like to see how you put them together on a single page.

    Anyway, I loved them.

  2. love your word choice…easy as blood…gorgeous..

  3. Interesting to compare this with last Fridays…also like the word selection.

  4. Like the matching ‘translucent’ imagery – good one Graham :)

  5. it is absolutely luminous
