....tongue in my cheek

by dj-thomas

Eye lashes flicker a shared urgent interest parting - dancing smile **My first inspiration was sex, passionate life squeezing screaming sex, the thumping wall musicality of sex, exhaustingly inventive sweaty and wet. I wanted to make it a senryu but for duality the female characterisation demanded two more lines each extending to seven syllables.   Arousing images captured her moaning splashing loneliness in unusual collocation. I was first excited by the placement of a hovering extended enjambement to give life to my final line, whilst also considering the satisfaction in using noisy mouthed rhythms.   I believe I easily hid the wet aroused context with a watery semantic field, that suggested she would choke and drown. So in my last line I had ‘pleasures’ as a cutting keriji to make clear the dominating sexual context, having previously used a preposition and determiner to maintain duality!** Exhausted shivers in windowed naked currents unfolding sinking then surfing vital wavelets drowning screams - pleasures wet bite .
