After

After as blanched I lay chambers emptied, pump drained sinew reduced to flaccid residue, am I soul? ©Kathryn McLoughlin Collins February 22, 2012

Your rich vocabulary, and your way of extracting so much with so few words amazes me. I noticed your assonance... 'lay...chambers...drained' and 'sinew reduced...residue,' which adds so much! :)
