Wryly Wrapped In Wet Silk

a nonbeliever happens upon a wet wrap of truth:

be free enough to show infinite beauty
without eye or mouth or arm to judge or change

speak to weather of soul
that lifts up towards chill of outside touch
with unfashionable courage

this is nerve, indeed, raising nipples
though sucked dry

    I just told someone else this but I have to say it is true of this poem too: the last stanza/couple of lines is pretty darn good.

    Oh those last two lines are just gorgeous, Carol - wonderful wonderful poetry. I like a woman with such a nerve... woman enough to raise her nipples!! Loved this one - you are such an amazing poet.
