Take me to redemption  By Amy Shelver

Tiny pinpricks all over 
And the slight quiver of
jaw… 
I know I am there! 

Sensations. A thudding pulse 
Beat.
A smooth snaky chair.
Frogs!

The strange, yet so familiar 
Crevices and pathways 
Of my hair. 

Skin so soft, 
Your body 
Sinks 
Into it. 

Thud! Thud! 
In time with the beat. 

And I am transported 
Beyond… 

A toothy grin and eyes open 
Wide… 
I know I am there! 

Vision unhindered… 
My sixth sensation… 
Ecstasy!
