by Nicole Ann Gatchene
A smatter of kisses,
Fabric skins falling,
A slippery procession.
A song begins,
(a duet)
Throbbing with heat,
Starting at the top,
(shoulders)
Easing through,
(down)
In unison,
Outlining, touching:
Every note,
(Every curve)
Every key,
(Every turn)
Tumbling into bed,
A tangle of limbs,
Together:
humming,
singing,
resting,
With a flick!
non-light.
(Inner incandescence)
Cocooned in blankets,
Honeyed dialogue,
Which flows into…
Slumber,
(unconsciousness)
A pause,
On realized dreams.
