A Poem by eglantine

It has been four months and seven

days since I last mixed

ink with recycled tree-skin.

 

I'd almost forgotten how

to shape letters beneath

my pressed fingertips,

 

but just like how the rain

always returns to the sky,

I remembered its smooth taste--

 

silver burn beneath my tongue.

The difference between "keyboarding" and writing is all in the fingertips and ears. A touch of "cute" for the humanity and an aftertaste of ...I never really left.
