EBJohnson in Poetry & Free Verse

Washer

Encapsulated --

Rough hands --

It's a woman's work--

Tough pains--

To plant the seed--

Intimidation.

Copper blossoms--

Cusped in July--

These scratches--

Write like wood--

It's a sad thing--

Loveless.

Needlemarks--

Gum stretched--

To the end of a pin--

Soft caresses--

I'd adore you--

Ineffective.

Empty--

Needles needed--

Just to fill you up--

Make you whole--

Used up--

Uninhabited.

I would touch the break of heaven

just to fill you up.
