Poetry

me up next by Y.H. Etheart

1 Comment 16 May 2009

after parting
with sweat on my stomach
and on your upper lip;
wide-eyed and breathing

i looked down as you sat up
and saw you
(what had always been you)
wide-open and gaping

and wondered to myself
how someone so small
could up and change
from crevice to chasm

all in one hour.
