Turning Bodies

curled on blue stained comforter

your head on my thighs — I run short fingers

through white–gold

silent, speak of men we have known love, we have imagined

digital glow reminds me

you must drive skidding soon through rain —

turn my body to shield your eyes

if only I didn’t know what you’d do

if I kissed you

perhaps I’d kiss you

and see what you’d do.
