To see with ones’ soul the dirty fingernails

 

To see with ones’ soul the dirty fingernails
To feel with ones’ skin the touch that hurts
To be in shoes that fit oh too well
To walk a mile inside some ones’ smile
I feel the nausea that tinges each meal
I recoil from intimacy that should recall pleasure
Today the life that each step becomes
Is only a dance instead of a future
An imitation of life, of love it is ghostly
I walk and yet, am dead to this time

A celebration of the moment of life; of smelling the roses; of the good and the bad. very down-to-earth poem, and yet the effect is spiritual.
I sense a deep empathy with your fellow humans in this one Sandi.
Thank you, and, well-done. :)

Haunting...the pallid lips of intimacy kissed by rigor mortis. Letting it all go unmanicured for an anniversary or so to grow meat back on our bones and skin on our feet for a journey in a new pair of shoes is a good fit, Sandi. It's good to see you posting again...we miss you...do something nice for yourself today...Blessed Be.

Love,
Sage
