• December 6 Poem

  Another entry for the December Project. The Muse for this poem is an old friend from college, a sweet girl who sings like an angel and speaks Japanese (which I think is wicked cool.) Here’s your poem, Jessica:

  In the by and by

  Green is what they were
  and they were too young to be
  any other color.
  In an alternative dimension
  they would have been
  exploring the slope of
  the other’s shoulders,
  comparing the respective curves
  of their breasts,
  filling their hands
  with fleshy hips,
  tasting their own sweetness
  on the other’s lips.
  Instead they looked on
  with eyes of green
  into pools of longing,
  mouths filled with unspoken green
  hearts girly pink and flecked with green
  for green is what they were
  and they were too young to be
  any other color.
