I SING THE BODY ELECTRIC

I sing the body electric
without looking down to where I have written
          not the lyrics, exactly, but
drawings of holiday lights
strings of bright cream
wrapped around my wrist.

  1. Your poems make me want to talk about them. I feel like that's a very good thing. This one is no different.

    you also end poems very well. that's hard to do. The final stanza here is excellent.
