Fragile Bones

[Absinthe]

It's been quite some time since I've posted new poetry on these boards. My style has certainly evolved, but I'm still probably my harshest critic.



she wraps herself around me
and i splinter -
held together by nothing

but fragile bones

and silky skin
i run trembling fingers over
when I long to feel loved

I like how you say evolved, because it describes not just change but with practice our writing develops with the influence of experience from our every day lives.

I don’t think I’ve ever really read anything this intimate from you before. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Thanks, Sharon! Yeah, it's definitely not something I would have written 10 or even 5 years ago.
