Crushed Velvet ( Senryu String)

by Maple Tree   Dec 16, 2020


Velvety pockets
embrace crushing ruby lipstick
time capsule secrets.

Flashy eye lashes
wave- while he speaks in riddles
my shoes shuffle on.

Just a crushing blow
from shy words left unspoken
he will never know.

    I like the images created in these pieces. For some reason, a night out came to mind. It’s probably due to the flashy eye lashes, and the lipstick. It’s like the lipstick remained in the jeans for a long time and then when it was found, it brought back memories.
