Posture Me Blue

Posture Me Blue

Posture me blue
Sitting arms at side
Bored to tears, statuesque
Striking movement in stride
Bending at the waist
Derriere and floor become one
Arm cradling head
Exhale stress and dread
Chin pressed to chest
Relaxed, I posture, rest
My birthday suit at its best
Relaxed, I imbue serene
Posture me blue

A sculpture in words, so unique 💙 I like the line “My birthday suit at its best” signifying vulnerability yet confidence.

Nicely written, the art is perfect 💙

I appreciate your kind words! Thank you. I was trying to correlate calmness with the color blue. At the same time highlighting the “birthday suit” being both vulnerable and confident. 💙🥰

I really like the calm flow of this, O’Nika. The way “exhale stress and dread / chin pressed to chest” moves into rest feels soothing to me.

Much love,
David
