I like multiples
of three—
brain, tongue, hand:
mind-love my flesh,
speak to my bones,caress my soul.Fresh, ripe, whole…I’ll give you me,times three.

Who could refuse? (Now you've got me thinking of all sorts of things that come in threes, a magic number indeed.
ReplyDeleteThree is so contagious, isn't it?
DeleteThree is indeed a magic number, Magaly, and your poem is magical too. I love the phrase ‘mind-love my flesh’ and the way you offer yourself ‘Fresh, ripe, whole…’
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kim!

DeleteThis was eerie. Maybe it was the image following, but those words just slid around and kept whispering...
ReplyDeleteIt felt eerie to write. There was something in the promise offered in the last stanza. It made me feel like the speaker was promising anything--great and terrible.
DeleteThis speaks volume . Loved it.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeletePowerful! And thanks for the link to the art site of Elemental Otherworld -- love her vision of the Divine Feminine!
ReplyDeleteI'm quite taken by her art, too!
DeleteThis is so poignant!😍 Your poem reminded me of a quote by Tarryn Fisher who states; "How odd to be made of flesh, balanced on bone, and filled with a soul you’ve never met."💝
ReplyDeleteI love that quote!
