Kelly Ann

you are a lion, a crazy lion
you are a peach, a fuzz wuzzy peach
you are a squeegee, a flopy doppy squeegee
you are an old shoe, falling apart from the inside out
your hair is like dark solid amber
your teeth are like sharp daggers
your neck is like the stem of a poppy
your shoulders are like ice cream in a cone
your eyes are like glass marbles
your chin is like a nib without ink on it
your ears are like ribbons

RACHEL

you are an angel with red wings, wings with silver shoulder blades

you are a copper pipe, shiny and new

your voice is like a harp, flowing like a river

your smile is like the sunrise, beaming

your eyes are like the moon, twinkling on the still waters

your elbows are like a swans neck, curved and soft

your toes are like dancing mice, skipping about in the dust in the corners

your hands are like butterflies, warming in the sun

your neck is like a temple wall, smooth and strong
