Afterwards Poem by Fahmida Riaz

Afterwards

Rating: 5.0


After love the first time,
Our naked bodies and minds
A hall of mirrors,
Wholly unarmed, utterly fragile,
We lie in one another's arms
Breathing with care,
Afraid to break
These crystal figurines.

A very impassioned portrayal of an extremely personal and most intimate experience between a man and woman in love. A relationship deconstructed. Thanks.
