mortal,
dirty,
fellated,
finished,
fascinated,
constructed,
constipated,
waited,
not sated,
lost,
flown away,
disappearing in the mystery,
the mist of imagination,
miserly,
sing-song,
in the path of destruction,
detected,
convection,
silly,
feelings crop up,
tears of joy,
sad song,
still waiting,
watching,
whispering over a piano solo,
strings come in,
it follows a line that rises slowly,
sensuously,
lazily,
Saturday morning comfort,
a dry hand on a naked stomach,
lights flickering on and off,
bring it on,
roll over,
delight in the flesh,
a pillow lost over the cliff,
to the floor,
sheets tangled,
feet on cool carpet,
berber tickles the bottoms of feet,
a classic sound,
foreign instruments,
drums,
tribal,
a rush of water,
smiles all around,
sun streaming through the window,
against the curtain back,
cutting through the center,
pouring onto the floor,
drawing a bright golden line across the room,
over the rumpled pillow,
the side of the bed,
the exposed feet,
laughter,
a practical joke,
gentle,
sweet,
loving,
so as not to upset this Saturday morning comfort,
this mystery,
the mist of early eyes cracking open,
fingers across closed lids to clean out the sleep,
speaking in tongues.
