Never Reaching the End

[71degrees]

I assume the first two lines are to set up a contrast of her new life and the carnal(is that the right word) imagery. I like the imagery. It is rough and effective. Slurp definitely sticks out badly. I wish the contrast was more developed. Also wish there was an ending. I felt like I was hanging on and a little deprived. Why is the narrator reminiscing now? How is it affecting the narrator?

Hi, skadragon. Thanks for the items here. Two things back at ya' 1) "Also wish there was an ending" Consider the title and 2) How many years must pass before one stops reminiscing?

Glad you liked the imagery.

I heard she grew up to marry
a short glass of white milk kind of guy,
but back then she was in my arms:
pink tulip skin, edible nipples
She would rub her curls against my neck,
slurp small beads of sweat from my nose

When words failed us,
we spoke only in vowels:

ahhh, you
ohhh, you

The Moody Blues had nothing
we never heard before

Hi, 71, I like this, it does a  good job of bringing back the sweaty sex to the soundtrack of the times. L2 would appeal to me more if I hadn't heard a similar phrase but it does a a good job of being unimpressed with with her choice.

I love what others don't, slurp/small/sweat.

She would rub her curls against my neck,
slurp small beads of sweat from my nose

These lines for me, taken with the Moody Blues, evoke an open and deep involvement in the moment.
I like the vowels too, thanks for the read, I continue to enjoy it.

Finally…someone who likes "slurp" and understands the sex behind it Thank you.

I actually googled the questionable line you mentioned to me. One can find anything on youtube. I will reconsider using it. Thank you.

Finally, someone who understands "slurp" and the sexy sound to it Thanks. I googled your "similar phrase" (amazing what can be found on youtube). I am still reconsidering. Thank you.
