Artist and Model make a brief re-appearance today: minus paintbrush!



SIGNATURE


"I am who I am"
"Yesterday was Monday"...

Post-its paper her body's surface,
reminding her of who she is
and what her life's about:

A papier mache cloak;
a coating of her own making.

But subtly he persists in peeling away
her amassed winter layers,
thought by thought;
phrase by phrase;
piece by tattered piece.

Dismantling her protection,
he finds there's young, pink skin beneath.

Through it she is able to breathe
the air of a fresh spring,
her long hibernation over...


Gentle are the notes he writes,
signing his name with
the tip of his tongue
soft upon her delicate flesh.

Inscribing her with truth
he traces his words with
all the deliberate slowness
of a tender, caressing finger...


Today she is wearing a new covering:
the warmth of his
knowing fingerprints.

Wow Kate. You don't write about sensuality, you become sensuality. I have never read a poet that can make words come to life as you do. I really need to stop waxing lyrical I'm making myself gag. lol
All men need to read this and learn.
Brilliant work!

Oh, my god, fair Kate... I had to stop gasping, clear the lump from my throat...this is, and you must believe me, absolutely gorgeous! Your metaphoric euphoria had me making little sighs, audible "wow's"... and that's NOT about the theme, though I love your tenderly clever handling of that. I'm talking about the poetry! Each line, between each line, each expression... the whole thing! It glides. I'm entirely absorbed, enchanted. You could poke me with a needle and I wouldn't feel it (I'd prefer you didn't, though... ). I'm babbling like an idiot because I can't satisfy myself that I've emptied myself for the love of this quiet and powerful poem. Sigh... I wish I could eat it! (It's my bedtime... good thing, eh?) hehe... katy xox

I always like her posts and how she paints the poem like an artist would paint a picture.

A subtle but delightful expose of the artist and his model. Your brush strokes are marvelous in painting these poems with your words.

What a truly unique re-appearance of the Model - clad first only in Post-Its, and then only in the Artist's fingerprints - awesome, Kate!
