the texture of bold





As the first specks of a blazing morn
prickle me 
somewhere behind my neck
bidding farewell to another august night
there's a face in my sight
smiling at my plight
like a high class whore on a paris street
she struts her stuff
shifting the focus
at the forest fire
somewhere above my navel

a two faced kindness

grazing the skin
raking the memories

Her eyes bore into my lens
through the warps and wefts
defying trapped contradictions
in a simulation of boldness
placing that palm on her hip
she strikes a pose
 
a fire drill singed with smoking sparks
 

an impression
of a scorching yellow torch

  2. Sonny, especially vivid images in this one that really portray the "heat" of the scene. And you've chosen some great active verbs to make it come alive.

  4. I wondered throughout (and still do) if she was a dream, a fantasy, an eruption of heat and passion that woke you on a summer morning. At least that's what I saw. ;-)

  14. Unfortunately for me, looking at the photo I see the lady dressed in bright warm beautiful colours and immediately get the impression she is pregnant. Therefore, I can not relate her to the poem.

    The poem by itself is very intriguing.
