Judy's October Post

traceable lines
 
finger-trace the lines
tactile ... sensual
rough on smooth
 
what can they tell us
the scribbly gums
about ourselves?
 
brush aside streeling bark
knuckle-knock solidity
feel the strength within
 
what do blackbutts
know about insecurity?
about fragility?
 
we all have layers
we strip to reveal
... vulnerability?
 
it's that soft underbelly
that makes me fear
we lack the substance
 
to present
traceable lines
to the world
