I See Why You Must Pretend to be Fast Asleep

Every bold caress I make
Is a knock on your hardwood heart

For answer, there were your sighs,
Your barely-there moans

Punctuating each steady slide of hand
On smooth toasty skin

How do I begin

To think when
It’s sweltering beneath the linen sheets

I stare, transfixed at

Sweat beads blooming through your pores
Purifying your skin

Of the day’s dust and dreariness
Nothing but a sharp tang on the tongue

That I touched you with
Shocked you with

Bolts of curious desire

A fire you didn’t want to die in
