The Sky Between a Pale Existence and a Wild Heart

Portland bodies are pale and mild. Mild bodies need milk and honey—reduced in heat—drink and let it overflow from your mouth, your heart.

When the sun radiates through the grey here, it might be delightful to devour something sweet and tangy, pull and tug with teeth, rub the frosting from lips, smile.

There is sweet desire: a young lover feasting on her pale thighs. There is bitter yearning: a promise of such an act. How to choose? Both fill the gap between a passive, pale existence and a wild, honeyed heart.

Wow - yum. So glad this makes me and dreamy of course. What glorious mixture of imagery you've measured! Most surely a creative heart with hands that create goodness.

Hi,
Glad to hear you're writing again. Your images are strong, but scary. I hope I don't hear you change your name to ravenous lover soon. :)
