Knees weld
arms fold
heart locks
sigh echoes
shadows touch
fingers brush
hand held
trace of love

Think him sweet
then don’t relate
he’ll take and bend
against the wall
upon the floor
flush your need
your gasp inflate
blow holes inside
heart storm create

Half a foot of nonsense
driven to release
she took his hardness
softened his belief
she gave what he’d not had
he said he’d never give
sex lay behind them
love let in begins

Dawn light filters through
shutters angle a rainbow
I wake warm space beside
my eyes look into yours

Double shadowed wall
new day hand-held silence
you and I the night before
two strangers at the door
