your slim volume taunts me i am all flabby with words that wind a convoluted sentiment a never-ending pitch and bubble of adjectives that collect around the waist sag themselves down to collect at my feet
and your spine is pin thin straight. i am petrified at the sight of your delicate sonnets resting like slender wrists that taper down to the profession of words every word a counted fibre, lean while i bulk up and on and become obscene
