I lean forward and you take me
from behind my image focused bouncing back to appear
appealing to your eye.
I look over my shoulder,
hair
brushing my cheek, checking
to see you behind me.
I gasp to feel your hands
touching my naked skin as
you adjust my position to
satisfy what you want of me. You
ask me to move and then to stop;
to place my hand
so you will
gain the most pleasure from
this experience I have given you.
I arch and stretch, contorting
myself into whatever form
is most pleasing to you.
The moment comes
when you tell me to freeze;
it is perfect,
and you push the button,
the shutter click capturing
my image
in black and white.
DON’T BREATHE
He’s home
Like a bear
That backed into a
bush, and she
is the thorn,
the one stuck
in his side.
Don’t move, don’t breathe,
for God’s sake, don’t talk.

About the Book
At some point there is benefit to stop simply observing life and start writing about it. Andrea Zysk has always viewed life as a series of images captured as surely by our memories and imaginations as by paint, photo, or prose. In discovering poetry she saw a way to transfer her own mental images onto the page; considering that poetry is, after, all a story painted with the medium of words.
In this, her first book, she offers her own unique slant on life, ranging from the philosphical to the erotic and everywhere inbetween. The hope exists that within these pages the reader will make a connection with the hidden images of his or her own life.
