your body
i love
the firm form
which nestles
quick
and the soft
crease of odor
when with you
i tingle
at the tiniest
flick of a smile
in which your face
is a blossom
that flowers
even in the fall
of snow
&
like lightning
i become large
stretching the seams
just barely when
the soft point of
your tongue
brushes
mine
