sticks and stones

the kind unsaid

My gift to you …… by Susi Bocks
with shallow breath
and heaving emotions
i bequeath the rivulets
escaping
pittering
on the soft earth
from here on out

the one-sided conversations
a yearning

of diapers, the mother thinks
the child is cranky

Cryptic — Jade Li/Lisa’s take on Exploration Challenge #145
in artesian spring water
washing with gentle hands,
rubbing rubbing the dust off
until you’re red and gleaming
tongue runs from bow to stem
teeth grow impatient then pounce
sinking into your juicy flesh
