Sophie's Choice

The perception of beauty is a moral test. - Thoreau

her breasts like trophies

pink orchid 'tween wishbone legs

the choice was sophie's

Author's Note

"It is surprising how many great men and women a small house will contain. I have had twenty-five or thirty souls, with their bodies, at once under my roof, and yet we often parted without being aware that we had come very near to one another." - Thoreau

That choice...it's not obvious.
The poetry is good, I just feel like I didn't get it.
idk, Pete, maybe it's just me :P

god gave her the equipment, now she gets to choose how to use it. there was a 1982 movie called 'sophie's choice'.

@Re-Pete Was that really HER choice, though?

[Pete]

now you get it - that's for the reader to ponder.

Hey! That's a good one! I like that! I kinda cheated and researched it. It is really a sad story.
