Unseen forces pull
Trying to tug us their way
I anchor myself
I bend not to others will

Entering relaxed and delicate 
The surgeon adjusts the tiny strands
Taking care to strike completely the offending fiber

Premium Member The slower seconds of time

were rushed
when I counted strings
between strands of silence
in midafternoon
between requiems 

smoked salmon
with capers in the sour cream

Fatal Attraction

Brushing strands of hair gently off my shoulder
with fiery blue eyes,        
as are his.
Drawn in I lay scarlet;
- pleased by the tongue in his cheek.
