Splinters

Body in yoga positions unyielding Sun light in angles to play with the eyes Nimble lit fingers are all concentrating waiting for brain-waves to signal, advise all for the loosing of splinters Caught from the deck in an afternoon bathe Right at the moment of consummate melt Didn't get up 'till the clouds pulled the shade an irritant right at that moment was felt palming new skin holding splinters Now in a tank top too cold for the air whisking the house through the windows and doors Tweezer lit fingers are handled with care to siphon the micro-wood not to ignore all for the loosing of splinters. And wouldn't you know it, one's always left a touch stone to polish with alkaline fingers One in scar tissue, anomaly rests and patiently beds down to sensory linger all in the losing of splinters.
