Challenge
Micropoem challenge. In 10 lines, 50 words, show your adoration for a particularly juicy, well-turned, artfully, sculpted, astonishing part of the anatomy. There are legs, bums, and lovely downy breasts, folks, but there are also yummy surprises, say, upon the clavicle, or along the bridge of the nose. Delight me. Tag me. #davidaintgotnothinonyou

spine
wings narrowed to a point
at the small of your back
spreading feathers over
smooth boulders, seamless
beneath the skin
ivory fence-post ribs wreathed
in roses and ivy and Grecian plaster
vertebrae stacked upon vertebrae stacked upon stone
heedless of your bending, twisting form,
my Stonehenge written in your bones.
