body, sweet with sleep
eye opens to gold
closes

wishes for then feels
the fingers
softly seeking
searching searching

nipple rises
then is
engulfed

bodies turn
each to other
feeling the beat along the thigh
beneath the wrist

gold morphs to white
hot
heat seeking heat

joy rising
in the belly
the throat

and then
there is
just one
