Listening to you breathe, your head tilted back
The pillow a blueish tint in the light from the window
It is unclear if the light comes from the moon or from some street light
But it does not matter
The light is blue
And it shines onto the skin of your face, with little stubbles on your chin and the space on your cheeks near your ears
You on your back, my hand draped over your chest
You shift to face me, you slide your leg over mine, and our toes search for empty spaces in the other, then lock into the gap. I lock myself to you.
You are gone.
In a place of nothing, darkness, and light
You do not understand what is happening as I kiss you awake
Your eyebrow my target, I feel the tiny hairs against my lip as your lids flutter open
Like wings on the back of a bird that never lands
You stare at me in awe
Love in your eyes
Outside the cars go by on the highway
Wasting gas
They should turn around, go home to the ones they love.
Loudly they vvvvmmmm past us,
While we,
Sweet and slow moving like molasses
Move our hands up each other from legs to hips to mouth
Then down, and feel for textures
You call me smooth, my skin like a cool stone in a river
You are like a grass covered hill,
Mossy and full of earth
We move together, the light blue from the window shifting from you to me,
And then back to you
The light on your shoulders to the light on my hips
Everything is blue
The love
Your shy smile
My flowing hair
everything is blue.
even
My hands
Moving across you
Like a little sailboat
In the middle of the ocean
