My new favorite poem.
i like my body when it is with your
body. It is so quite new a thing.
Muscles better and nerves more.
i like your body. i like what it does,
i like its hows. i like to feel the spine
of your body and its bones, and the trembling
-firm-smooth ness and which i will
again and again and again
kiss, i like kissing this and that of you,
i like, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz
of your electric fur, and what-is-it comes
over parting flesh … And eyes big love-crumbs,
and possibly i like the thrill
of under me you so quite new
- e.e cummings

Well, we are officially on our winter break.
Christmas is coming, a new year will begin, and we all get a brand new term. Poetry club will start up again our first week back, same place as always in the Hot Shot cafe on the Albany campus at 2 on Tuesdays.
Write a poem that inspires you over this break, That calms you, That moves you, That keeps your mind moving. Share it with me! I can reblog it if you like, but if you don't, I'll just be another audience member. In case you don't know the email, it's insidetheheartswalls@gmail.com
Have a wonderful holiday season everyone! I know I will!
