Skin and lace
Obscured by light, Covered by smoke, Fancies and overdue-sighs Cloaked hands evoke Stuck between two hard places, A wall, unmoving And another, abrading. Confusing, abusing. Sheet between her teeth Hair sprawled about. Nails digging in, deep. Objectionable, each sound. A lonesome tear glistened In an unlit room Closed eyes didn’t hinder vision, Each instinct else consumed. Skin and lace, Entwined, intimate. Like fingers, and lips, And each sultry breath. They came and left, And came again. The ticking clock rang, All disappeared but pain.
