i drink the wine that flows from your mouth
and you purr -
a smoky caress of heat that covers me, fills me.
we become silhouettes as the light fades
into deep shadows.
i can’t see your smiles, but
my fingers absorb them as i
trace your name across the contours of your chest,
gliding over the sweat we’ve created, and shared.
vowels tangle in your aureoles
and you bubble over in contralto sighs and giggles,
your nails strafe me lightly, slowly,
drawing liquid sparks,
and we begin again.
