split ends

by Chanel Klein

March 1, 2026 | Poetry | BOING !

 

Supine flex:

        in heat.

 

Long black hair, curl

baby ringlets at the tips,

grace the small of my back

        as I pace.

 

The way you

drink me in:

got me all

        / pent up /

Buck like a crazy horse.

Remind me of In just by ee cummings; the play around the structure do seem very interesting, and a feministic feeling too (at least in my perspective), if you’re the poet is my interpretation true? 🙂
