Discomfort in Disguise

a touch on the navel

gentle yet perilous

like a raspy feather

scratching the surface

to nauseate the day

piercing the facade

so precisely positioned

by a kindred fuse

recanting the promise

of dampened eyes

I love how minimalist your poems are. You say so much without wasting words. Very clean! A great read.

a touch on the navel - such an intimate gesture... This is a very creative use of the words for the week. I suspect that each reader will take their own meaning from this - it reminds me somehow of a cryptic crossword with the potential for hidden meaning in each line

From dark to darker - very well written!
