Cool of polished marble in Washington’s monuments
smooth of a baby’s skin, freshly powdered
Soft of a ripe peach’s fuzz, feel the fruit underneath
soft of a sheep’s wool, warm to the touch
soft warm ocean water, running off my hot skin
Rough oak bark, below its broad leaves
Thick tough alligator hide
Coarse granite stone, solid, or appearing so
rough, light pumice rock, light and airy
Sharp thorns of a rose bush, protecting the delicate blooms
sharp quills of the porcupine
Gritty sand, between my toes
Moist humus, under the forest canopy
slippery oil, sticky pine pitch
Algae covered broad leaf seaweed
scaly snake skin
Hard sea shells, baking on the shore
Hot coils on the stove, glowing red
cold ice on the pond, for skating, pierced for fishing
Brittle ancient pages, crumbling under my touch,
pearls of, rivers of, sweat on my skin in the hot sun
Rough sawgrass, gelatinous bullfrog egg mass
Fuzzy bunny fur, spiny sea urchin
These are textures of creation.
