More in For Less

Discuss: For Less

For less

I have reached

Headstrong fingers extended

Shimmied a trunk and

Belly-crawled the bough

 

By ginger slide-steps

Have trembled slim branches

Laughed at the breeze

That lifted my skirt, exposed

For less

 

Far less

Has tempted

A precarious perch

Emboldened by bravada and

Taste for apple

 

But now

Earthbound on skinned scared knees

Gazing up through serpent memories

It is too far to fall

You make me laugh

And you make me too hungry

Interesting twist in this titillating piece here! I enjoyed the visuals that you pulled out of the words. I also loved the last line immensely....'for less' we have done many things, right?
