Coagulation

Her waffled skin
as she stretched alone
syrup starved
love and attention famished
felt pelt-like
hung in a barn drying
draining of blood
pooled in the circlets of her toes.

His ungrabbed hair
as he rolled alone
armadillo balled
and ravenous as a crow in Lent
for an intimacy
craving a promise
dropped like a penny
by a Piccadilly pickpocket.

Can they coagulate
exempt
of sin
building treasures in pleasure.

I just tried to write a poem the other day with the word "circlets" in it. It didn't work for me...so I'm jealous of your use of it in this fine poem. ;) I find your word usage very unique and fresh. "his ungrabbed hair." It's one of those phrases that makes so much sense that you wonder why you never thought of it yourself. Thanks for the read!

Wonderful imagery; it's quite unusual. I liked:

'as he rolled alone
armadillo balled
and ravenous as a crow in Lent'

in particular, but the whole poem is good.

as he rolled alone"
