Scarlet's Poetry Den - The Early Years

Scarlet's Poetry Den
"The Early Years"

Profile (Listen to the poem in RealAudio G2)

profile shadow
against the wall
cast by a dim candle

it looms larger
than the flesh curves
I caress

comfortable
with habitual motions

it would
be bad manners
to care more
