Negative Space Challenge

Dissemble gives air to

backgrounding lull,

cha-chunk cha-chunk

cha-chunk of motion

falls her hair over my

baron chest as light as

air briefs moments in

her pensive stares.

Weight, coil, the silence

of dominance as to a

cogent narrow body.

A sound between two 

masses, nary a ripple

wakes as she slips in

to water so convincing 

as a mothers gentle 

rinse swaddles a baby

bare in a basin. A

natural depression

between two masses.
