Camisole Stroll


Photo by Jessica Szopinski


covered like a camisole
the day hung on light and loosely

I walked through with you
our hearts decomposing

and composting a path
on which to lay our souls

steps light as aire
lent us bent on humid

baselines from edge to edge
and life lifted and burned

    If I must decompose to compost can't think of a prettier place than the base lines of this path.

    A splendid image of life and rebirth, a perfect mood setter for spring. The image sets a beautiful parallel for the words, which set a lovely imagery of their own. Descriptive, sensory, thoughtful. Lovely work.

    Beautiful imagery in this, a delicate and wispy feel, it shifts with just a breath from line to line of change and acceptance and renewal. Excellent stuff.
