June 2021 Flash Lit 9 - Pose

Pose

 

Like this?

If I grow my hair out?

If I shift my

hips forward, tuck

the prickly opinion

behind the cage of bones?

If I raise my arms,

my voice, my consciousness?

How about if I bleach

out the color, turn it

all down, turn up

the excitement?

Is that what you want to see?

 

Inside:  vibrant fleshy cartwheels

hooting with laughter.
