Committed Skin


from the ABC set Exploring Possibilities

I crave committed skin.
Pale, pink tones of a fragile heart.
Silky strands that tantalise.

A forest of words - thoughts,
forcing careful continuation
of forward movement.

Actions.

Soft, subtle reassurances
given under pressure,
refusing to provide more
until¦

Making absolutely sure
when the two surfaces
eventually meet -
rub together¦

no other skin will suit.
