Curiosity

A challenge this morning involving three words..two constant and one abstract..Mine were Curiosity Clown and Knife…enjoy~

She lays cold

In perfect assumption

Even my shadow  

Wants to clown in her sleep

The weight of both bed and bottle stripped

A lonely night

A foolish wish 

This slip and knowledge 

Potential 

Sails and streams

I met her when she was seventeen

Funny how some girls

Jump the skip to thirty

A Christian knife 

To hold inside my throat  

But no… never like that

Though I would be lying if every thought 

  Didn't struggle in priestly curiosity

Like I said 

Only wishes

Now she lies closer

Sleeps and

Curls in a cone made bed 

A world within her smile

I hold the bottle to her skin 

She mumbles

Something about mourning 

Carving my name into sin 

I whisper 

Reach for  

My shadow 

And with her kiss

All is done.

This piece was written so beautifully. You were telling a story & I saw everything you portrayed. Very well done.
