topic: sixteen shades of scintillation

by Rachelle Howe

there is a scab on my ankle
that refuses to heal.
maybe i should quit picking at it.
the blood flows freely, and i am
intoxicated by the aroma that
i know i do not smell.

what has this world come to?

you prance around, you,
in those low-riders, those hip-huggers,
those shirts that make me drool for your mid-drift.
you, with your everything.
you, who sits there above the clouds,
looking down upon mortal men.
you, the sixteenth shade of my whole,
you, my scintillation.
you, the better half of me.

I've gotta say, it's pretty good stuff, especially considering how quickly you managed to create it. A challenge well done... and now off I go to ponder yours. Hmm.
