Poetry

My interest in poetry comes and goes. I haven't written anything for a long time now. Everything posted here is old.

Quiet

"Quiet...Quiet...start simple" she said holding my hand in hers.
It wouldn't move.
My fingers frozen by her words
they just laid there limp
not even trembling.

"Just a little more keep the lights on this time"

She dumped it on to her lap.
The hand
heavy and dead
It slid deeper than I wanted to go
would have gone
hoped to go.

But weighted
it sank into her and she let out this sound.
a sound that made me ache
buttermilk smooth and warm, wet and delicious.
