Textures of Creation – v2


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.
