In the beautiful silence around us

I only hear

Your throaty whisper

My heartbeat quickening at as you graze my collar bone

The soft swoosh as my dress falls to the floor

The wind blowing the sheers in front of our glass wall

The sound of traffic on the bridge

The engines of jet planes landing in the nearby distance

The city noise across the river

The rustle of sheets tangled between our bodies

The friction between skins

The sounds of leaving and goodbye

In the deafening silence around me
