I love your back.

the one you spend sleepless nights lying on, staring at the ceiling.

the one that carries your schoolbooks, as torn and disheveled as they may be.

the one that your mother has caressed in a soothing way while humming a lullaby.

the one that has carried little sisters and brothers when they were too tired to walk.


I love your back.


its smooth curves feel like the ocean

its rough bumps feel like the sand

its hidden silken treasures

that fit inside my hand


its structure is finely crafted

by architects renowned

it makes beautiful music

without making a sound
