Long after your kisses left my collar bone
I could feel the pressure of your weight on my frame
The fingers on my thigh
Holding the scriptures of my femaninity
Reading my words with careless fumbling touch
Your breath caught in between the lips that search my own
Fingers on my waist
No time to bring the gods apon us now
Mortals on a seperate plane
Heavy breathing
Ask your nondenominational god for no baby conceiving
Cooped within ancient bodies,
this inhabitant dwells amongst an elder net
of crabby, crotchety, curmudgeonly claque
of old folks, only a portion of population I met
which achey, flaky, kooky motley crue
disgruntlement fed as peevish pet
aye be earnest asper my assessment,
but some (quite frankly) getting ready and set
to lay down their limb mitt less lives,
even those who survived harrowing encounters as a vet.
