melancholy

like sticky syrup

rendering a snail’s trail sigh

slow, sad poison sings.

shelter

the prompt this week at One Deep Breath is shelter. And the first thing I’d thought of was the womb:

ermerging life stirs

in its flesh aquarium

of soft liquid warmth

and then, the bed:

beneath soft darkness

the forgiving blankets hide

delicious secrets.
