Here's a skinny poem for you it is dwarfed by the paper it is written on. But it is tall, like a tree, white and black scarred a birch, leafless pale in grey day light, and slight, like a delicate hand, its fingers seem to crumble in mine nonetheless a beautiful hand, not prim, but clean, and the fingers are long, quite the best way for fingers to be, they are not fat, like mine; although I am taken with them, the rest of you is nice too, dear. Your lovely hand is welcome to come home with me and hold mugs of tea and enjoy the heating system of my room which makes cold nights easier. |
