Graciela
by Steven Kenworthy
some maker put these violins here to add something
to the scene.
the perfect fifths and f holes designed carefully along
your spine. your inked pages
elegeant and dazzling, you make everything out of string.
when silence was golden.
your eyes were greenish, don't go
there is a stadium dressed out in daydreams
ready for your thin hands.
song spells
i'm going to fall, and that is okay.
i have bruised well before, i know
where you are most ticklish,
i know where your skin is softest.

| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 10/18/08 at 09:02 PM A sense of youth and romance permeate this very emotive poem. |
| Posted by Frankie Sanchez on 10/19/08 at 10:33 AM "i'm going to fall. and that is okay." two incredible and essential revelations that take a lot of guts to recognize and accept. well played, sir. |
