innocence’s caress

By Shelia Taylor on February 6, 2018

rise and fall of lungs begging for air
flesh against flesh
tearing at skin
hate filled fingers
embed their tips within
decibels crescendo
on quiet ears
one bite and teeth drain
a demon spawn
eating at the soul
of innocence’s caress

I respect and acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation as the First Peoples and Traditional Custodians of the land where I live. I pay my respect to their Elders, past, present and emerging.
🖤💛❤️

Through learning about the First Peoples and Traditional Custodian songlines, I found my own.
