I watch you
as your brow furrows,
try to maintain your balance
while leaning port-side,
set the glass with ice,
a slice of lime
to bury your teeth in.
Angle yourself to see under
my skin
exposed, white on white.
Wait awhile
then come into focus.

You certainly caught a clever angle for this mag. :-)
ReplyDeleteI like this idea of scrutiny. Unique perspective.
