Heavy Handed

When

 

I

 

felt the sting

of your fingers

light upon my cheek

I was stunned.

 

Who

knew

you were so heavy handed?

Whoa, this is a stunner. I wasn't expecting it from your other work.
Really amazing depth in brevity.

You say a lot by implication and omission in this poem, and the lay-out adds to the impact of the piece. Cool work.

I love how you formatted this. With such few words you left this piece open for so much interpretation. I love it.
