Notes About The Poem

CURLING SMOKE

the following poem was written as part of an online poetry class assignment--to respond to the above image..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Whispers curl like smoke, lips brushing ears with poison~ a truth, bent and blurred. The tongue's blade leaves no wound, yet the heart bleeds in silence.
