The small of her back.

  1. delicious
    a nicely succint metaphor but underlying resonations too

  2. Ken Wagner

    Was -
    Curved mountains
    covered in clouds -
    The small of her back.

    I think “hills” works better. Any thoughts?

  3. Ken Wagner

    Gerald – Glad you liked it. Thanks for the feedback!

  4. See it, feel it, love it.

  5. Ken Wagner

    Thank you. I am fond of this one.

  6. Wouldn’t “your back” be better?

  7. Ken Wagner

    “Your back” would better suggest the intimacy of an encounter, but this was more a moment of recollection. I was on the road, driving into the mountains.

    Plus, I’m not sure she would have appreciated my breaking an intimate moment to compare her to the hills, no matter how lovely!

  8. I see what you mean, but still there is a distance I don’t think really is there in your mind when you think about someone in that way.

    Ah well.
