Air. So breathe, suddenly.  Once More…

 Silence

  Her-Pieces

  Her-Necklace

  Her-Body

  Silence

 Her-Emptiness

 Her-Everything

 Her-Nothing

  Silence

 Air. So, breathe. Suddenly, once more…

I understand your beautifully expressed "skinny" more than you can imagine. Thank you so much for submitting this to the "Form" contest (I must try it some time and I hope other members do as well.) I'm thinking of keeping the "Form" ongoing,so we can learn about the many varieties of poetry and brush up on the ones we do know.
