Touch
A heightening of senses
Touch
Bristling beneath it
Horripilation
Sweeping up bodies -
From the Latin, horrere pilus,
"to bristle" + "hair" -
The most delicious
Can be the most poisonous
Exploding with each
Touch
Anticipation erupts
Touch
At the very thought
Of such delicious fruit
Touch

Touch
A heightening of senses
Touch
Bristling beneath it
Horripilation
Sweeping up bodies -
From the Latin, horrere pilus,
"to bristle" + "hair" -
The most delicious
Can be the most poisonous
Exploding with each
Touch
Anticipation erupts
Touch
At the very thought
Of such delicious fruit
Touch
Contemplating the sensation of goosebumps.
