[ORIGINAL POEM] She

in #poetry7 years ago

she
folded black
back on itself
she
an origami shadow
neatly drawn
in and in
on herself
she
awkwardly elegant
teases limbs
apart, unfolds
her secret structure
and keeps unfolding
limbs like wings
with intricate hinges
she
slowly reveals
the creature
of perverse beauty
she
always was
shivering
a black and
awkward angel

she looks up

Very good metaphor. Thank you!

Thank you :)
