Human Nature

Lynn L.

My fingertips feel the texture of a rose petal,

Silken, yes, but silken with the hush of something already dying.

Soft as sin, velvet against the finger,

A whisper that resists and surrenders all at once.

Cool at first, like a lover’s indifference,

Then quick to the warmth beneath the weight of touch.

The skinny
