nude year

by Peter Hsu

now that you are naked
i can see the color of your mouth
slowing all my words to
the lowest vibrations of light,
plucked and pinned
to the quiet withering
of the calendar.

This really resonates - I particularly like the words "plucked and pinned" - their out-loud sound plus the image they provide are very effective.
