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.
