Smooth glass, clear, or in the prism’s spectrum
Cool
of polished marble in Washington’s monuments
smooth
of a baby’s skin, freshly powdered
Soft
of a ripe peach’s fuzz, 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, so ancient
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, sometimes discarded
Hard
sea shells, baking on the shore
Hot
coils on the stove, glowing red, alive,
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
Coarse
sawgrass, gelatinous bullfrog egg masses
Fuzzy
bunny fur, spiny sea urchin
These
are textures of creation.
