The Blind Man Loves Anais
By Vanessa Shields
Dessa is green apple: crispy bitter sweet
Charlie is brown bark: rough soily natural
Anais is blue water: wide flowing changing
He is in love with Anais
having caressed her skin
with the eyes of his fingers
(that she so generously offered
without hesitation)
skin on skin was electric
shooting life into edges
tips
on his body he didn’t
know existed
the result was
a literal spark
Anais loves to swim
in his darkness
she is a water spider
guiding him to sea
