trail of pants shirts underwear
your plaid boxers my lacy bra
lips tongues teeth
frantic, pressing
bodies burning
slick with sweat
encore une fois until
we fall into tangled sleep
~~~OOO~~~
some parts not so willing
as we crimp and crease
needing a bit of encouragement
creams & pills & time
no more orbiting the moon
or sailing past Sirius
hearts free of feral
tongues & teeth
yet embers
o yes embers still flare
& keep us warm
