THEM - Three Word Wednesday

Three Word Wednesday
where each week you write something
using the three prompt words.
This week's words are . . .
break, negative, surface

T H E M

She was

luminous, lit up
she bent like a willow
so that she wouldn't break
touching the ground
with green fingers
she was reaching
down into the
earth

he
studied
the negative
stroking the surface
polishing the reflections
and making them
shine

Between them
the electrons flowed
completing a circuit
so much electricity
you could feel it
crackling
in the
air

Science and romance combined. Clever.

this poem is such a lovely mix, sensual, sterile, scientific, natural, erotic...lovely. This one will be with me for a while.

beautiful portrait... and the format gives the story more power... after rereading slowly the thought came across as if perhaps the greening of technology... the quiet still of yes and no
