1/19/2018 Poetry by Ashley Cooke Wendelin Jacober CC
Slow Dancing Last night we slow danced in a room filled with skeletons we held each other tight nearly floating across the room all that mattered was our touch we never let go it never crossed our skulls. Scars Their scarred knuckles scraping across the same bricks they slammed their fists into long ago their feet trace the railroad tracks beneath them that lead them back to the house that had been vacant for years that stinging sensation came back from the scars that were risen here looking around at the past brought a piercing ache to their heads they remembered why everything hurt the way it did when they were young.
