# Two Horripilation Coral Carter

Horripilation

On her legs
first sun then shade as she rocks
shade sun shade
sun sun shade
makes rhythm with shadow
in boots that have walked through
dust dust and dust
her fingers spider dance across strings
as she spins voice silk
to bring the message
direct from heaven
goose pimples on her legs erupt
so many tiny flesh mountains
each topped with a flag wave of a single hair.
next to her an orange lamp with a purple base
worn brown lounge
a wall thermometer with a picture of a moose
in an alpine setting measures
this moments air as
hot hot and hot.
