POEM + AUDIO: WHY I DON'T LEAVE THE APARTMENT UNTIL AFTER TEN SOME MORNINGS

 

Why I Don't Leave The Apartment

Until After Ten Some Mornings

 

i like to lay

in the curve

of your physique

 

you breathing

into the black

of my hair

 

the pressure

of thigh

to thigh

 

the beige softness

of your inner hand

slow moving

 

across

the tubular darkness

of my arousal

 

my

left arm reached

back massaging

 

the supple

flesh of your

lower back

 

for long minutes

quarter hours spent

with nothing

 

but skin

& pleasure

between us
