Dry and cracked

in tanka •  6 years ago 

Dry and cracked like the skin of an elephant
but so much thinner,
I shiver as your lips skim
the dip and curve of my shoulder.


Tanka is a form of Japanese poetry which translates as "short song." It is 31 syllables and often broken up into five lines of 5/7/5/7/7 syllables.
