#alohaalisha

for alisha (who, coincidentally, has the same name as my mama!!)…

bare feet of a woman

strikes the earth

like a drum,

lulling but strong.

the music of her humming

is a wooden, years-old flute

and when she plays it,

the sound sends 

an ache that travels down

the vertebrae,

whittling away at ivory bones.

the sharp edge of her toothy smile

a chisel 

that carves away 

tendons and flesh.

i am dissolved

by the acid of her disapproval,

but it is the love

that twinkles in the bright irises

of her eyes

that beg my stripped and naked heart

to beat

thx for following, girly!!! i really hope u enjoyed this :)
