Limbs - Emma Pollock

Dancing in the day

Her body

Strengthens in the way

We don’t see

In you in me

These limbs

They can take you higher

They can take you higher

Tailored by the moves she makes

So well

Perfected by the symmetry

Her body tells

Just you wait and see

These limbs

They can take you higher

They can take you higher

Sitting by the bed

I can see through her skin

She can hardly breathe a word

Her body is

So thin

But I can still see

These limbs

They can break like branches

They can break like branches
