Nakedness Knees together milky white thighs ribs under breasts protecting a heavenly beat. Arms out stretched backwards, the wings of a bird or inward folding to prayer. Shoulders protrude tenderness, from a forward slump collapsing towards the chest. Tears coaxed out from soggy dreams giving light to sorrow's long lost nightmare safe passage, through cerebral cortex. Hope to the prudent virgin letting down long loops of hair wide ropes that lead to the small of her back. Clay like fingers worked, warm and soft cuticle layers giving birth to crescent moons. Eyes that shatter into a thousand shards the makers of false mirrors inhibits bashful lips. Guilt stricken, red blushed skin, stings slapped by awareness as the shame settles into nakedness.
