Touch
Written September 2006
A finger of delight,
epidermal cells ignite
soon to be consumed
Anstey on June 24 2007 edit · delete There is an interesting detachment caused by the middle line that makes me chuckle a bit. The idea of this passionate touch -- submerged in latinate almost scientific language really alters the mood and moment significantly. So rather than some young wild love, it's a far more subdued subversive sort of thing.
