hollowed-out, glowing:
dig into that velvet flesh
and find it beating
I was born to speak all mirth and no matter.

Thank you so much, Spearmint!! And yes, I did draw parts of it! The heart I did not draw (I'm not quite that talented). <3

Love those images, Plume! "key-lime-in-the-summer green" was particularly vivid for me. I remember being like o.o when I first saw a picture of key lime pie, so that line reminded me of that. I also love all the repetition and the long images strung together with dashes - it makes it very recitable.

It is only a novel... or, in short, only some work in which the greatest powers of the mind are displayed, in which the most thorough knowledge of human nature, the happiest delineation of its varieties, the liveliest effusions of wit and humour, are conveyed to the world in the best-chosen language
— Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey
