Had me eating
out of the palm of your hand
not figuratively,
jellybeans-
you held them
up to my face
and what could I have done-
your hand saying
"take this"
my face saying
"touch me"
-the mastication began,
a dizzy experience
of corn syrup,
y-chromosome and
color
that couldn't
matter
in a dark room.
You
fine for making
New
ways of quaking
Few
words for waking
To
bend-fold-breaking
Blue
eyes for holding
eyes
Hello Hello
adieu adieu
You
First experience, wonderful description. Jelly beans for childhood, blue for the reflection of their unnoticed colour in eyes which have seen more. Nice use of the word "mastication" which sounds vaguely sexual, as does body origami bend-folds, the new waking and we shan't even discuss the meaning of quaking. It's just that horses, once domesticated, became so docile - so much less, majestic ...
